Demand Level
Low. This is considered a 'common' card from the junk wax era. It has niche appeal for Dodgers team set builders or Mike Marshall completionists.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$0.05 - $0.25
Graded Value
PSA 8: $5-10, PSA 9: $15-20, PSA 10: $40-60. Note: Grading fees would exceed the value of this specific card.
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sales show individual raw copies of this card selling for $0.99 with free shipping (essentially a net loss for the seller). High-grade PSA 10 copies occasionally sell for $30-50 to registry collectors, but this specific card would not achieve that grade.
Description
A classic 1990 Topps Mike Marshall card featuring the iconic '90 design with a vibrant green border and blue inner frame. The card shows Marshall in his Dodgers home gray uniform in a full-swing follow-through stance. The 'Dodgers' team name is prominently displayed in yellow script at the top left.
Key Features
Features Mike Marshall during his tenure with the Los Angeles Dodgers; iconic 'Junk Wax' era design; common card from a high-production set.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic paper stock from the 1990 Topps run. The 'dot matrix' printing pattern is consistent with standard vintage factory production. This card is not a target for counterfeiting due to its high supply and low market value.
Flaws to Note
Significant right-to-left centering issues (the right border is much thinner than the left). Softness visible on the top right corner. Minor white chipping on the green top edge.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold in bulk lots on eBay, at a local yard sale, or placed in a 'dollar bin' at a local card shop. Individual sale online is not recommended as shipping costs will exceed the card's value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. To maximize value, include it as part of a 1990 Topps complete set or a Los Angeles Dodgers team lot. If listing on eBay, use 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping to keep costs low for the buyer.
