Recent Sales
The 1993 Topps Albert Belle base card is a common card from the 'junk wax' era. High-volume sales occur for raw copies at bulk prices. PSA 10 gem mint copies occasionally sell for around $30 on eBay.
Condition Details
Visual inspection shows relatively sharp corners and clean surface. The top-to-bottom centering appears slightly shifted towards the bottom. Edges look clean from the photo provided.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10, and even then, the profit margins are negligible for this specific year and player.
Card Description
The card features Albert Belle of the Cleveland Indians in an action-oriented baserunning or fielding pose. He is wearing the Indians' white home uniform with red gloves. The design features a white border with a modern-style nameplate at the bottom containing his name in red and the team 'INDIANS' in blue.
Notable Features
Features the classic 1993 Topps design and the Cleveland Indians team logo on the helmet.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic with correct period-specific card stock, print resolution, and 'Topps' logo placement for the 1993 set.
