$0.10 - $0.50
Graded Value
PSA 8: $10-15, PSA 9: $15-25, PSA 10: $40-60 (High PSA 10 value is rare for this specific player/card due to low demand/grading cost ratio).
Comparable Sales
Raw copies typically sell for under $1.00 or are found in 10-cent bins at card shows. PSA 10 copies occasionally fetch $30-$50 from registry collectors, but there is very little recent sales data for mid-grade versions.

The card shows Van Slyke dropping the bat after a hit in his classic Pittsburgh road jersey.

Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card is from a high-production era and is not a target for counterfeiting. Authentic card stock thickness and 1992-style printing dots are visible.
Flaws to Note

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot), COMC (Check Out My Cards), or local card shop 'bargain bins.' The cost of shipping often exceeds the individual value of this card.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fee ($15-25) significantly exceeds the fair market value. It is best sold as part of a 1990s Pirates team lot or a bulk collection. If listing on eBay, use standard envelope shipping for low-cost tracking.
