Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM) to Lightly Played (LP)
Estimated Market Value
$40.00 - $120.00 (Note: The value heavily depends on whether the signature is authenticated/aftermarket or pack-inserted; the base card is worth $5-15).
Recent Sales
Raw base cards sell for $10. Certified pack-pulled autographs of Rasheed Wallace from this era can exceed $200, though this appears to be an aftermarket/in-person signature.
Condition Details
Moderate surface scratching is visible on the protective sleeve which may affect the card. The blue ink signature appears bold but was signed over a textured surface. Minor corner softening is visible on the bottom right corner.
Grading Recommendation
Recommended for Dual Authentication (Signature and Card). A high grade is difficult because Metal Universe cards are prone to chipping. Only grade if you wish to verify the authenticity of the blue ink signature.
Card Description
Features Rasheed Wallace of the Portland Trail Blazers in mid-air action. The 'Hardware' insert set highlights players who were key contenders for NBA awards/titles.
Notable Features
Includes a blue ink autograph. Features the iconic 'riveted metal' aesthetic and textured background characteristic of the 90s SkyBox Metal Universe brand.
Authentication Notes
The signature's authenticity cannot be verified from a photo alone as this specific card was not a pack-issued autograph. The card itself appears authentic based on the reactive foil and distinct font rendering.
