$0.05 - $0.50
Graded Value
PSA 8: $5-10, PSA 9: $15-20, PSA 10: $60-80 (Note: Grading cost far exceeds card value in this condition).
Comparable Sales

Description
This 1991 Topps card features Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar in his first year with the Toronto Blue Jays. The design includes the 'Topps 40 Years of Baseball' commemorative logo in the top left corner, colorful multi-striped borders, and a classic action shot of Alomar batting. The card back features his career statistics and a 'Topps Centennial Journal' historical blurb.
Key Features
Features a Hall of Fame player in his debut season with the Blue Jays; part of the iconic Topps 40th Anniversary set; high-nostalgia card from the 'Junk Wax Era'.
Authenticity Indicators
Genuine card stock (toothy gray cardboard); period-accurate ink saturation and dot matrix pattern in the Topps logo; no signs of modern reproduction. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant left-to-right centering bias (heavy toward the right side); corner softening visible on the top right; common edge chipping associated with 1991 gray card stock; potential surface wear from being stored outside a protector.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot), COMC (Check Out My Cards), or local card shop bulk bins. Best sold as part of a 1990s superstar bundle rather than a standalone item.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the fees will never be recovered at this condition level. Use high-quality photos to show it is clean for a personal collection. List as part of a 'Hall of Famer Bulk Lot' to move it faster. Always ship in at least a penny sleeve and top loader if sold individually.
