Estimated PSA 7 (Near Mint). Centering looks decent, but visible white chipping and dinging on the bottom left corner and lower edge are significant on this dark, thick card stock.

Manufacturer
Topps (Bowman Brand)
Demand Level
Low. Adam Walker is no longer a top prospect and is out of Major League Baseball, primarily playing in Nippon Professional Baseball (Japan). This is considered a 'common' autograph for player collectors or Twins fans.

Raw (Ungraded) Value
$2.00 - $8.00
Graded Value
PSA 7: $10-15, PSA 8: $15-25, PSA 9: $30-40 (Note: Grading cost likely exceeds card value)
Comparable Sales
Recent sales for base Adam Walker autographs from 2014-2016 Bowman products typically range from $1.00 to $5.50 plus shipping. High-grade (PSA 10) examples rarely exceed $25-30 given limited hobby demand.
Description
A 2015 Bowman Inception Prospect Autograph featuring Adam Walker of the Minnesota Twins. This card features a premium matte/canvas-style finish typical of the Inception brand, showing Walker in a batting stance. It includes an authentic on-card signature in blue ink with the Topps Certified Autograph Issue seal of authenticity.
Key Features
On-card signature, premium thick card stock, high-action artistic design, official Topps/Bowman prospect product.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The ink shows the correct flow and pressure for an on-card auto; the micro-printing of the 'Topps Certified Autograph Issue' and the Bowman logo are consistent with genuine 2015 production.
Flaws to Note
Significant white chipping/wear on the bottom left corner and bottom edge. Thick 'Inception' card stock is notoriously prone to edge and corner damage which is highly visible against the dark background.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Auction starting at $0.99) or COMC. It would also be a good 'dollar box' item at a local card show.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading will be much higher than the resale value. Use keywords like 'Twins Prospect' and 'On-Card Auto'. Ship in a bubble mailer or via eBay Standard Envelope with a penny sleeve and top-loader to prevent further edge damage.
