Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (Estimated)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $12; PSA 9: $40 - $60; PSA 10: $250 - $400
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for ~$10 on eBay; PSA 10 examples consistently reach $300+ due to the vulnerability of the brown/copper borders to chipping.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy on the bottom border (as oriented). Corners looks relatively sharp through the sleeve, with minor surface scuffing visible on the top right edge of the sleeve (though the card itself should be inspected out of sleeve).
Grading Recommendation
Recommended only if the card is pack-fresh and flawless. The sensitive borders of this set make 10s difficult. If it has any white on the edges under magnification, stick to raw value.
Card Description
Features Tracy McGrady as a rookie for the Toronto Raptors holding a basketball in his away purple jersey. Text on front includes 'TRACY McGRADY', 'Raptors' logo, and the Topps brand logo.
Notable Features
Rookie season card for Hall of Famer Tracy McGrady. High sensitivity to edge wear due to color-to-edge border design.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1997 Topps card stock. Correct font for nameplate and legitimate Topps and Raptors logo placement for the 1997-98 production run.
