Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | PSA 9: $100 - $150 | PSA 10: $1,200 - $1,500
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $5-12 on eBay. PSA 9 examples have recently sold in the $110-$140 range. PSA 10 high-grade copies command significant premiums over $1,000 due to the difficulty of finding the wood-grain borders without chips.
Condition Details
The card shows slightly off-center top-to-bottom and left-to-right. There is visible whitening/wear on the corners, particularly the bottom left and top left. The wood-grain border is prone to showing edge wear, and minor chipping is visible along the top edge.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless it is a strong candidate for a PSA 10. Based on the visible corner wear and centering, this would likely grade as a PSA 7 or 8, which has a market value lower than the cost of grading and shipping.
Card Description
Mark McGwire is shown in his Oakland Athletics home green jersey and grey pants, wearing number 25. He is captured from behind in a batting stance. The card features the iconic 1987 Topps wood-grain border design with the Oakland A's team logo in a circle in the upper left corner and the player name in a green box at the bottom.
Notable Features
This is widely considered Mark McGwire's most iconic rookie card. Unlike his 1985 USA Baseball card, this represents his first appearance in a major league Topps set during his record-breaking 49-home run rookie season.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic with correct font execution and the appropriate matte card stock characteristic of 1980s Topps releases. The dot-matrix print pattern in the green name box is consistent with original production.
