Recent Sales
Ungraded copies of this 1972 Mini insert series typically sell for under $5.00 on eBay. Graded PSA 10 copies occasionally reach $40-50, but PSA 9s are much lower.
Condition Details
The card exhibits decent centering, though it appears slightly biased toward the top/left. Corners look relatively sharp for a modern insert, though minor white chipping may be present on the reverse corners not visible. No major surface scratches or creases are apparent.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. Despite being a Hall of Fame player, this is a common insert from a high-production year. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card unless it returns a guaranteed Gem Mint 10.
Card Description
David Ortiz is shown in his Boston Red Sox home white jersey. The card utilizes the iconic 1972 Topps design featuring arched block lettering for the team name (RED SOX) in alternating colored circles. Ortiz is seen in a candid moment on the field with a printed facsimile signature on his jersey.
Notable Features
Features the 1972 Topps throwback design, Hall of Fame player, facsimile autograph printed as part of the card design.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with Topps 2013 production standards. Card stock and ink saturation appear authentic for a modern insert reissue.
