Demand Level

Low. Part of the 'Junk Wax' era (1987-1994) where cards were mass-produced in the millions. Most interest comes from set builders or niche player fans.

Valuation

Raw (Ungraded) Value

$0.10 - $1.00

Graded Value

PSA 8: $5-10, PSA 9: $15-25, PSA 10: $50-75 (Grading is not recommended based on cost vs. value ratio).

Comparable Sales

Recent sales of raw copies are consistently between $0.50 and $1.50 with shipping. A PSA 10 copy sold recently for approximately $45, but higher-grade copies are very difficult to move quickly.

Description

A classic 1991 Topps Jeff Shaw rookie card featuring the relief pitcher in his Montreal Expos uniform mid-windup. The card displays the iconic 1991 Topps design with a colorful piping border and the cursive nameplate at the bottom.

Key Features

Rookie Card of a 2-time MLB All-Star and Rolaids Relief Man Award winner (1997). Key card for Montreal Expos or Cincinnati Reds collectors.

Authenticity Indicators

High confidence. This card utilizes the standard 1991 Topps card stock which is a grey/tan pulp. It is not a frequently counterfeited card due to high production volume.

Flaws to Note

Minor centering issues common for the ‘Junk Wax’ era. Visible white chipping potential on the dark pipe borders and potential for typical cardboard stock aging/yellowing on the back.

Selling Guide

Where to Sell

eBay (as a bargain lot), COMC (Check Out My Cards), or in a 25-cent bin at a local card show.

Selling Tips

Do not grade this card; the grading fees will far exceed the market value. It is best sold as part of a 1991 Topps complete set or as a 'common' fill-in for team collectors on platforms like eBay using PWE (Plain White Envelope) shipping.
