Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
$1.00 - $3.00 (Raw); $15.00 - $25.00 (Graded PSA 9/10)
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for this specific set generally range from $0.99 to $5.00 for individual base cards. High-grade slabbed copies occasionally sell for a premium over raw copies but have low liquidity.
Condition Details
The card shows slightly uneven centering (heavier toward the bottom left border). The corners appear relatively sharp with very minor softening on the top left. Surface quality looks clean with no visible creases.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading (approx. $15-25) far exceeds the raw market value of the card. This is a nostalgic 1990s release rather than a high-value vintage card from the player's active era.
Card Description
Len Ford is pictured in a sepia-toned classic kneeling pose wearing jersey number 80 for the Cleveland Browns. He is identified as a Defensive End. The card features a red border design with the Swell logo and a 'Football Greats' banner that includes a Hall of Fame bust icon.
Notable Features
Features the Pro Football Hall of Fame logo; Len Ford was a 1976 Hall of Fame inductee. This is a retrospective set produced decades after his playing career ended.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with 1991 Swell production standards. Glossy finish and card stock are typical for the era. No signs of counterfeit concern due to the card's low market value.
