About this card's market

Cards from this era were printed in enormous quantities during the hobby's boom years, so raw copies are plentiful — but strict grading separates the true gems from the masses, and top grades remain hard to pull off.

Baseball card collecting runs deep — set builders, player collectors, and investors all compete for the same key cards.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $1.65 and top grades reaching $61.50, grading a sharp copy of this card can clearly pay for itself — the spread comfortably covers a typical ~$25.00 grading fee. The catch: only submit copies with strong centering, clean corners, and unmarked surfaces, because anything below a 9 usually erases the math.

When choosing a grader, PSA slabs typically resell fastest, BGS rewards truly pristine copies, and SGC/CGC offer faster turnarounds — compare each label's value in the grade table above.
