Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8; Graded (PSA 10): $25 - $40
Recent Sales
Similar Orange Velocity parallels of retired legends in this set typically sell on eBay for under $10 raw. Hall of Fame status for 'Pudge' keeps a floor on value, but high supply for Optic parallels limits upside.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy to the right side (approx 60/40); top and bottom centering looks decent. Minor surface micro-scratching may be present on the optic finish, though corners and edges look sharp based on the photo.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless for a personal collection. The cost of grading ($15-$25) likely exceeds the raw market value, and the centering suggests it may not reach the Gem Mint level required for a significant value bump.

The card features Ivan 'Pudge' Rodriguez in his Texas Rangers catcher gear, including red chest protector and shin guards, in a throwing motion.
