Graded GEM MT 10 by PSA. Rookie Card. Among a total of more than 1,575 copies recorded in PSA's census reporting, just over two pervent have been placed at this stellar tier. The Tiffany set's brilliant cards resemble those from the regular-issue variety, but feature a high-gloss finish; Tiffany production for each year was limited to just 5,000 sets.
An equivalently graded regular Topps (non-Tiffany) example of the offered McGwire card has been selling at auction at the $5,000 level. The lofty price result represents a dramatically upward progression that saw similar-conditioned examples trading hands for $800 - $850 months ago, which was up nearly threefold from the $275 - $300 sale price in mid-2014. This is a very special limited-edition piece, standing among the most valuable and sought-after 1980s baseball rookie cards in the industry. Stunning Gem Mint condition.
