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 $2.25 and top grades reaching $134.11, 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.
PSA remains the most liquid grading label in the hobby, while BGS (with its Black Label 10) and modern entrants CGC and SGC have growing followings — the table above shows how each label prices for this card.

The fastest way to gauge the real market for this card is to scan the live eBay listings above: look at the spread between auction and Buy-It-Now prices, and check sold history before paying top dollar.
If you own this card, scan it with Ripbin to add it to your locker — you'll see its value tracked over time, and other collectors can discover it and send bids.
