Recent Sales
Base raw rookie cards sell for $1-$3. Authenticated autographed versions on this base card sell for $20-$40 depending on certification.
Condition Details
Moderate top-to-bottom centering issues (bottom border is thicker). Minor corner softening visible through the top-loader. Potential surface scuffs on the plastic which may mask actual card condition. The signature is an aftermarket addition, not a factory-certified auto.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for card grading. The card is off-center (approx 65/35). Because the autograph is likely in-person/unauthenticated, it would need Dual Authentication (DNA) which costs more than the card is worth.
Card Description
Features a photo of Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum in a suit holding a basketball. Text: ANDREW BYNUM, lakers. Team logo in bottom left corner.
Notable Features
Includes a blue ink hand-signed autograph and the number 17. The card itself is Andrew Bynum's primary rookie card from the 2005-06 Topps set.
Authentication Notes
The Topps logo and print quality appear consistent with 2005-06 stock. The blue marker signature appears to be an 'In-Person' autograph. There is no 'Topps Certified Autograph Issue' stamp, indicating this is not a factory-issued hit.
