Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.25 - $1.00; Graded (PSA 10): $10.00 - $15.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for standard base veteran cards from 2022 Heritage typically sell in bulk lots or as individual 'filler' cards for under $1.00 plus shipping.
Condition Details
The card exhibits visible top-to-bottom centering issues (heavy on the bottom border). There is slight softening on the bottom-right corner and minor edge chipping visible on the right side. Surface appears clean but the centering is the primary flaw.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading (approx. $19-$25) significantly exceeds the market value of the card. Additionally, the centering would likely prevent a Gem Mint grade.
Card Description
Michael A. Taylor is shown in his Kansas City Royals uniform, wearing a blue 'KC' hat and holding a bat over his shoulder. He is listed as an Outfielder. The design is a throwback to the 1973 Topps set, featuring a circular player silhouette icon in the bottom right and sans-serif typography.
Notable Features
Heritage 1973 design aesthetic, Kansas City Royals team designation, outfielder silhouette logo.
Authentication Notes
The card shows authentic Topps Heritage matte card stock and period-accurate printing patterns. No signs of counterfeiting; this is a standard modern base card.
