Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Lightly Played (LP)
Estimated Market Value
$2 - $10 (Raw) / $25 - $40 (PSA 8)
Recent Sales
Raw copies in similar condition generally sell for $3 to $8. High grade PSA 9 specimens can reach over $100, but this specific card's centering and edge wear preclude that value.
Condition Details
The card has visible wear along the top edge, specifically some minor chipping or rough cutting. Small surface indentation near the top center. The corners show slight softening. Centering is heavily shifted toward the right side.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The off-center (O-C) alignment and top edge wear would likely result in a grade lower than what is required to make the grading fees profitable.

Authentication Notes
Authentic. The card exhibits the correct cardboard stock texture for 1981 Topps products and showing characteristic lithographic print dot patterns (rosettes) in the ink consistent with the period.
