Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good (VG 3)
Estimated Market Value
Raw/Low Grade: $1.00 - $3.00, PSA 8 (NM-MT): $30.00 - $50.00
Recent Sales
Low-grade raw copies frequently sell for under $5.00 on eBay. Higher grade PSA specimens are sold infrequently due to low player demand.
Condition Details
Card shows significant corner wear with rounding at all four corners, most notably the top left. The centering is shifted heavily toward the bottom. There is visible edge wear and surface dirt/staining typical of vintage cardboard stock.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card's current condition (rounded corners and poor centering) would result in a low technical grade. The cost of grading would exceed the market value of the card.
Card Description
The card features Collis Jones of the Dallas Chaparrals (ABA) in a head-and-shoulders portrait against a vibrant green background. It shows him in his white team jersey with red and blue trim. The bottom features a large 'CHAPARRALS' logo in blue text on a black diagonal banner.
Notable Features
Rookie card of the former Notre Dame star. This card is part of the 1972 Topps set which included both NBA and ABA players.
Authentication Notes
The card stock appears to be the correct grey-toned vintage cardboard typical of 1970s Topps issues. The ink saturation and font match known authentic examples.
