Estimated Market Value
$15 - $35 (Raw); $150+ (PSA 9); $1,000+ (PSA 10)
Recent Sales
Raw copies consistently sell between $15 and $25 depending on centering. PSA 8 examples average $80-$100.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly shifted to the left (roughly 60/40). Corners look relatively sharp for the age, with very minor softening. No visible surface creases. Surface shows good gloss.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading only if a grade of 9 or higher is expected. Centering issues on this specific card may limit it to a PSA 7 or 8, making it less profitable than higher-tier hits.
Card Description
Features Milwaukee Bucks center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in his white home jersey. The front includes the Bucks team name in vertical outline and the player name at the bottom.
Notable Features
Part of the iconic 1980-81 Topps set, which is famous for its three-panel rookie cards, though this is a standard-sized individual card release. Notable for featuring Kareem earlier in his career with the Bucks.
Authentication Notes
The print quality and 'Topps' logo style match the 1980 era. The ink saturation and stock texture appear consistent with authentic Topps vintage cardboard.
