Manufacturer
Topps
Demand Level
Low. Stewart is a legendary A's pitcher, but this is a high-print-run base card from an era of mass production. It has minimal demand among investors, though it holds nostalgic value for team collectors.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$0.05 - $0.25
Graded Value
PSA 8: $5-10, PSA 9: $15-20, PSA 10: $40-60. Note: This card in current condition is not a candidate for grading as the fee ($19+) exceeds the value.
Comparable Sales
Raw copies typically sell for pennies in local shops. Recent eBay individual sales for raw base cards of this era average $0.99 to $1.50 (mostly covering shipping costs). Graded PSA 10s occasionally reach $50, but anything lower than a 9 has no premium.
Description
A classic 1991 Topps Dave Stewart card featuring the Oakland Athletics' ace pitcher. The design includes the iconic 40th Anniversary Topps logo on the back (not pictured, but standard for set) and vibrant neon blue and yellow borders with a dot-matrix gradient. Stewart is pictured in his white home Athletics jersey, number 34, in a mid-game pitching stance.
Key Features
Features a 3-time World Series Champion and 1989 World Series MVP. Part of the massive 792-card 1991 Topps set commemorating the company's 40th anniversary.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: High. The card displays the correct card stock thickness for early 90s Topps (gray cardboard) and the specific 'glow' of the light blue ink under light. High-volume 'junk wax' era cards are rarely counterfeited due to low market value.
Flaws to Note
Extreme softening and fraying on the top right corner; chipping along the top blue edge; noticeable vertical surface scratch or printing line running through the player's lower jersey/pants; centering is shifted slightly to the left.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold in a large bulk lot on eBay ('Oakland A's Team Set' or '1991 Topps Complete Set'), or in a local card shop's 10-cent bin.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading is significantly higher than the market value of a PSA 10. To sell, include it in a lot with other 1980s/90s A's stars like Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco to attract team fans. Shipping should be via PWE (Plain White Envelope) to keep costs low.
