Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent/Near Mint (EX-MT)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $15.00; PSA 7-8: $30.00 - $65.00; PSA 9 (Mint): $150.00 - $200.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $3 to $12 depending on centering. A PSA 8 recently sold for approximately $55.
Condition Details
Top-to-bottom centering is slightly off-center (top heavy/bottom light). Corners show very slight softening. Surface shows minor age-related speckling on the white borders. Edges appear relatively clean with no major chipping.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading only if the back surface and overall fiber integrity are pristine. Based on visual centering, it would likely receive a PSA 6 or 7, which may not significantly exceed the cost of the grading service itself.
Card Description
TACKLE, RAIDERS. Bob Brown (The Boomer) was one of the most dominant offensive tackles in NFL history. He was an All-Pro seven times and later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Notable Features
Features a high-contrast sideline photo with the classic 1973 Topps 'Goal Post' design.
Authentication Notes
Authentic vintage card stock is indicative of 1970s Topps production. Proper typography for the era (green and black ink) and lack of dot matrix artifacts associated with modern digital reprints.
