Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00; PSA 10: $150 - $200; PSA 9: $20 - $30
Recent Sales
Ungraded copies typically sell for between $5 and $10 on secondary markets like eBay. Gem Mint 10 graded copies have significantly higher premiums due to the difficulty of centering on this specific set.
Condition Details
From the image, the card appears to have good eye appeal but suffers from slightly off-left/right centering. The corners show very minor softening typical of 90s Fleer card stock. No visible surface scratches or creases through the sleeve.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if it is a guaranteed PSA 10 candidate. Given the left-to-right centering appears slightly skewed toward the right border, it likely would not achieve a 10. Grading for personal preservation is suggested, but for profit, it is marginal.
Card Description
Front features Gary Payton in his Seattle SuperSonics green and yellow jersey looking through a basketball hoop. Text includes 'Rookie Sensations', 'Gary Payton Sonics - G', and the 'Fleer 91' basketball logo.
Notable Features
This is part of the first-ever 'Rookie Sensations' insert set produced by Fleer, which was a highly sought-after chase set in the early 90s. Gary Payton is a Hall of Famer, making this a key card in the 10-card sub-set.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic with correct 1991 Fleer color saturation, typeface, and card stock thickness. No indicators of reproduction or counterfeiting are present.
