Manufacturer
Pro Set
Demand Level
Low - Niche. While Roger Craig is a beloved 49ers icon, this specific format (booklet) is less desirable than his standard 1984 Topps Rookie card or base Topps/Upper Deck cards.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$0.25 - $1.00
Graded Value
PSA 8: $15-25, PSA 9: $40-60, PSA 10: $150+. Note: This specific card is too damaged to merit grading costs.
Comparable Sales
Complete sets of all 24 booklets often sell for $10-15. Individual player booklets in near-mint condition typically sell for $1.50 - $3.00 with free shipping. In this heavily used condition, value is negligible.
Description
This 1990 Pro Set Collect-A-Books features San Francisco 49ers legendary running back Roger Craig. This is not a standard trading card, but rather a small 8-page fold-out booklet containing career highlights and stats. The front cover showcases Craig in his classic 49ers uniform in high-action play against the Los Angeles Rams.
Key Features
Includes 8 pages of stats and photos; features a 3x Super Bowl Champion and 49ers Hall of Famer; part of a unique 1990s cross-promotion between Pro Set and retail book outlets.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity is High. This was a mass-produced 'Junk Wax' era item with low value, making it an unlikely target for counterfeiting. Card stock and logo saturation are consistent with 1990 Pro Set production.
Flaws to Note
Major structural damage: the left side of the top red border appears torn or separated from the 'spine.' Heavy white chipping along all edges. Significant softening of the bottom right corner. Presence of surface dust/lint which may have caused micro-scratching.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for a bulk 'Niners' team lot on eBay or Mercari. The cost of individual shipping often exceeds the value of the card itself.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the fees far outweigh the value. If selling, list it as 'Vintage 49ers Roger Craig Booklet' and mention his status as the first player to record 1,000 yards rushing and receiving in the same season to attract player-set collectors.
