Demand Level
Low. This is a common card from the 'junk wax' era (1987-1994) when cards were overproduced by the millions. Most demand comes from team set collectors or fans of 90s nostalgia.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$0.05 - $0.25
Graded Value
PSA 7: $5.00-8.00, PSA 8: $12.00-15.00, PSA 9: $25.00-35.00
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies are often under $1.00, frequently sold for as low as $0.15 in bulk bundles. High-grade PSA 10 copies can fetch $40-60, but this specific card would not meet that grade criteria due to centering.
Description
Features a dynamic action shot of Cincinnati Reds flame-thrower Rob Dibble in his follow-through. The card displays the iconic 1991 Topps design with the 'Topps 40 Years of Baseball' logo in the upper left corner. The player name and team are housed in a colored banner at the bottom.
Key Features
Features an All-Star pitcher and World Series Champion known as one of the 'Nasty Boys.' Includes the 40th-anniversary commemorative logo used during Topps' 1991 production year.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. The card stock is the standard brown/gray recycled paper used by Topps in 1991. The red ink in the Reds logo and the blue border lines are consistent with mass production. This card is not a target for counterfeiting due to high availability.
Flaws to Note
Significant left-to-right centering issue; the left border is much thinner than the right. Softening on the upper left corner. General rough edges typical of 'junk wax' era paper stock. Surface may have minor wax staining on reverse if pulled from a wax pack.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk lot of 1991 Topps or a Cincinnati Reds team set on eBay. It is not currently worth the cost of individual listing fees or professional grading.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fee (approx. $20) significantly exceeds the market value. If selling on eBay, use 'eBay Standard Envelope' for cheap shipping. Take a clear scan of the back to show it is a standard base version and not a 'Desert Shield' parallel.
