Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8; Graded (PSA 10): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this specific insert fluctuate between $2.50 and $10 depending on the player. Mike Bibby is a popular era player but not a Tier-1 superstar like Kobe/Jordan, keeping prices modest.
Condition Details
The card appears to have good centering. There is minor visible edge wear typical of 90s die-cut or textured stock being held in a binder. The surface shows high reflectivity, but internal binder storage often hides micro-scratches.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection. The cost of grading (approx. $20+) outweighs the current market value of a raw card.
Card Description

Notable Features

Authentic Topps card. Note the correct 'Topps' logo placement in the upper left and the specific font style for 'Kick Start' and 'Mike Bibby'. Foil patterns match 1998-99 production standards.
