Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $1.00 - $3.00; Graded (PSA 10): $25.00 - $40.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this card typically range from $0.99 to $2.50 plus shipping. High-grade PSA 10 copies have sold in the $30 range fairly recently.
Condition Details
The card shows decent centering, though it is slightly heavy toward the left. The corners appear relatively sharp with very minor softening visible on the top left. Surfaces look clean, but there is minor edge chipping visible on the red border.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading (approx. $20+) exceeds the raw market value of the card. Only worth grading if the card is sentimental or a guaranteed Gem Mint/10 for a Registry set.
Card Description
The card features Hall of Fame coach Paul Brown wearing his iconic fedora with a feather. The design includes a red frame, the Swell logo in the top left, and a 'Football Greats' banner with a Pro Football Hall of Fame logo on the bottom left. The bottom section is a yellow nameplate identifying him as 'Paul Brown COACH'.
Notable Features
Features the legendary founder/coach of the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals. This set was a retrospective release focusing on Hall of Fame legends.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic. 1991 Swell cards have a specific glossy finish on the front and a flat, paper-stock feel on the back. The printing of the red borders and the Hall of Fame building logo is consistent with production standards of the early 1990s.
