Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Moderately Played (MP)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.50 - $2.00; Graded (PSA 5): $10.00 - $15.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies in similar mid-grade condition typically sell for under $2.00 on platforms like eBay. Higher grade PSA copies (8 or above) can reach $30+, but this specimen does not meet that criteria.
Condition Details
Highly off-center top-to-bottom and left-to-right. Noticeable corner softening and rounding, particularly on the bottom right. Surface wear visible through the binder sleeve, with minor staining or discoloration on the left border.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. Due to the significant centering issues and corner wear, the grading fees would far exceed the market value of the slabbed card.
Card Description
Front features action photography of Willie Montanez in a Philadelphia Phillies uniform. Includes position (Outfield) in a green circular silhouette icon and name/team in block lettering.
Notable Features
Features the iconic 1972 Topps 'Tombstone' or 'Arched' design with bold colors and action shots.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with authentic 1972 Topps card stock and printing processes. The ink bleeding and specific color palette for the Phillies card (purple and pink text) match known authentic print runs.
