Condition & Value Assessment

Condition Grade

Near Mint (NM)

Estimated Market Value

Raw: $3.00 - $8.00; PSA 10 (Gem Mint): $150 - $200; PSA 9 (Mint): $25 - $35

Recent Sales

Raw ungraded copies consistently sell for under $10. Recent PSA 9 sales are around $30, while PSA 10 examples command a significant premium due to the difficulty of finding perfect centering in this set.

Condition Details

Centering appears slightly heavy toward the left and bottom borders. Edges and corners look relatively sharp through the sleeve, with no obvious creasing or surface wear visible.

Grading Recommendation

Only worth grading if the card is perfectly centered and flawless under magnification. Given the slight left-leaning centering seen here, it likely wouldn't hit a 10, making grading costs exceed the card's value.

Card Description

Front features a photography of Barry Larkin in a Cincinnati Reds jersey. Back typically includes biographical information and 1986 minor/major league statistics and career totals.

Notable Features

This is a key Rookie Card for the Hall of Fame shortstop. Features the iconic blue-to-white gradient border of the 1987 Fleer set.

Authentication Notes

Authentic. Features the correct Fleer logo, appropriate 1980s cardboard stock texture, and standard ink dot patterns consistent with 1987 printing tech.
