Recent Sales
Raw copies of the standard Lucky 13 TJ Ford sell for $2-5; Gold Medallion parallels carry a premium depending on current player demand/nostalgia. Similar Gold Medallion Rookie cards from this set frequently range from $10 to $20.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy toward the left border. Corners look relatively sharp through the top loader, though some surface dust/scratches may be present on the plastic case rather than the card itself.
Grading Recommendation
Moderate. While it is a rookie parallel from a popular year (LeBron/Wade/Bosh class), T.J. Ford is not currently a high-value hall-of-fame target. Grade only if seeking a Gem Mint 10 for a personal collection or Bucks team set.
Card Description
Features T.J. Ford in a suit shaking hands during the 2003 NBA Draft. Card includes 'Lucky 13' branding, indicating his status as a lottery pick, and identifies him as a Guard for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Notable Features
Gold Medallion parallel finish which features a distinct gold-colored foil logo and background tint compared to the silver/standard base version.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Fleer Ultra stock. Features correct 2003 era gold foil stamping and the characteristic 'Lucky 13' die-cut aesthetic elements. Rosette patterns and logo placement appear consistent with Fleer production.
