$1 - $4 (Raw); $15 - $25 (Graded PSA 5/6)

Condition Details
Significant edge wear and chipping on the right border. Multiple soft and rounded corners, particularly the top right. Surface shows some light staining and minor dimpling in the yellow field. Centering is shifted slightly toward the top left.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card exhibits significant edge wear and surface imperfections that would likely result in a low grade (VG 3 or 4), making the cost of grading exceed the market value of the card.
Card Description
Curtis Rowe is shown in his Detroit Pistons road uniform, jersey #31, holding a basketball in a crouching pose. The card features a bright yellow background with a thick black frame around the player image. The word 'PISTONS' is written in a large, red, stylized block font at a diagonal angle across the bottom. The player's name and position (Forward) are printed in light blue at the bottom edge.
Notable Features
Features the 1970s 'chunky' Topps design and the Detroit Pistons team name. No rookie designation for this card.
Authentication Notes
The card stock appears to be the correct vintage grey/brown chipboard used by Topps in the 1970s. The printing halftone patterns and blue ink for the name match the production standards of the 1973-74 set.
