Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent (EX 5)
Estimated Market Value
$1.00 - $3.00 (Raw), $40.00 - $60.00 (PSA 9), $400.00+ (PSA 10)
Recent Sales
Raw copies frequently sell for under $2 on eBay. PSA 9 examples range from $35-$50. PSA 10 examples are rare due to production issues and command a high premium.
Condition Details
Image appears slightly out of focus. Significant top-to-bottom centering issues (the top border is noticeably thin compared to the bottom). Minor wear visible on the corners, and edges show slight chipping typical for 80s Topps card stock.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. Due to the visible centering issues and soft corners, the card is unlikely to achieve a grade higher than a 6 or 7, which would not cover the cost of the grading fees.
Card Description
Ozzie Smith is shown as an N.L. All Star representing the St. Louis Cardinals. The design features a yellow header with his name, a blue 'N.L. ALL STAR' subtitle, and a yellow circle in the bottom left denoting his position (SS - Shortstop). He is pictured in his red Cardinals jersey holding a bat over his shoulder.
Notable Features
Features the 'The Wizard' in his prime years with the Cardinals. Includes the All-Star sub-set designation noting his National League honors.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with 1983 Topps print pattern and card stock. No immediate signs of reproduction, though the photo quality in the provided image is low.
