Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good (VG 3)
Estimated Market Value
$0.25 - $1.00 (Raw)
Recent Sales
Individual base cards from this era typically sell in large 'junk wax' lots. Graded PSA 10 examples can reach $20-$30, but low-grade copies have negligible value.
Condition Details
The card shows significant corner rounding and edge wear. There is noticeable surface scuffing and the centering is shifted slightly to the bottom-right. Fraying is visible on several edges due to stacking or improper storage.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card's current condition (VG) and limited market demand for the player/set combination mean that the grading fees would far exceed the market value of the slabbed card.
Card Description
Jose Oquendo is shown in his St. Louis Cardinals uniform, wearing a red jersey and red cap with the 'StL' logo. He is holding a bat over his shoulder. The card design features a white border with a rounded blue inner frame and the 'Cardinals' team name in red script at the bottom inside a red banner.
Notable Features
Features the O-Pee-Chee logo in the top right corner; the O-Pee-Chee version is the Canadian equivalent of the Topps brand and is typically printed on whiter/brighter card stock than American Topps.
Authentication Notes
Authentic card stock for the period. The rough edges (typical of O-Pee-Chee wire-cut cards) and the specific print pattern on the jersey are consistent with late 1980s production.
