Recent Sales
Recent sales for mid-grade raw copies of this card typically range from $1 to $3. High-grade (PSA 8+) copies of this set can command $40+, but this specific specimen is low-grade.
Condition Details
Highly visible top-to-bottom and left-to-right centering issues (heavily miscut towards top-left), significant corner rounding, edge wear, and visible surface scuffing/discoloration on the white borders.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card is a common from the set with severe centering issues and corner damage. The cost of grading ($15-$25+) would far exceed the market value of the card.
Card Description
Front features Larry Dierker in a throwing pose with a 'pitcher' banner in the upper right. Team name 'ASTROS' in pink and blue text. Facsimile signature is printed over the photo.
Notable Features
Features the iconic 1975 Topps two-tone border design. Note that the signature is a facsimile (printed as part of the card design) and not a hand-signed autograph.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1975 Topps card based on the cardboard stock texture, characteristic color fading, and printing rosette patterns visible on the 'ASTROS' text.
