Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Moderately Played (MP)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $15.00; Graded: Not recommended for grading in current state.
Recent Sales
Similar commemorative reprints and 1996 Topps Mickey Mantle inserts typically sell for under $20 in raw, circulated condition.
Condition Details
Heavy surface scratching visible across the center; prominent glare from image source; edge wear and corner rounding; significant scuffing on the embossed metal/foil seal in the bottom left.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The surface damage (scratches) and general wear would likely result in a low technical grade (PSA 3-5), which would not exceed the cost of the grading fee.
Card Description
Features a portrait of Mickey Mantle in a New York Yankees pinstripe uniform. Includes an embossed commemorative medal/seal in the lower-left corner showing Mantle's likeness and years.
Notable Features
Bottom-left corner features a raised, embossed metallic-looking seal with Mantle's face and batting stance. The background features a ghosted/faded action shot of Mantle at the plate.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be a legitimate modern commemorative release (1990s era) rather than a vintage 1950s/60s card. The high-gloss finish and the style of the embossed seal are characteristic of Topps memorial or tribute sets produced after his passing in 1995.
