Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Moderately Played (MP)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $1.00 - $3.00; Graded PSA 5-6: $15.00 - $25.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies in similar condition recently sell for under $5.00 on eBay. Higher-grade PSA 7s or 8s can reach $50-$100 due to the difficulty of finding clean black borders.
Condition Details
Significant corner rounding and chipping along the black borders, especially the top right. Some edge wear and scratches on the surface. Centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom and right.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection. The condition (rounding/chipping) will likely result in a low grade (under a 4), making the cost of grading higher than the card's value.
Card Description
Commemorative card for Game 2 of the 1970 American League Championship Series featuring pitcher Dave McNally of the Baltimore Orioles.
Notable Features
This card belongs to the 1971 set, which is iconic for its fragile black borders that easily show wear and chipping.
Authentication Notes
Card shows authentic age-appropriate wear to the card stock; the 'rosette' pattern visible in the print and the distinct black border ink appear consistent with original Topps manufacturing.
