Below grade 10 the guide publishes one estimate across all graders, so these rows are not PSA, BGS, CGC or SGC prices, and a low slabbed grade can sit below a clean raw copy. Grade 10 is estimated per grader.

SuperCatch Expert Analysis

Market Value Insight

As a 1987 Topps card of Mike Merriweather, this item represents a mainstream entry-level piece from the late-80s era rather than a high-tier investment vehicle. Its current market positioning is accessible, reflecting the standard valuation for non-rookie, base cards of players who did not achieve long-term stardom with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The lack of special attributes places it firmly in the lower tier of the brand's hierarchy, trading at a modest premium only due to its vintage status and specific team affiliation.

Rarity Breakdown

This card is a standard base issue with no noted serial numbering, short-print status, or parallel variations to constrain its supply. Consequently, it exists in relatively high circulation compared to hobby-exclusive or limited-edition releases from the same set. The absence of unique identifiers means its scarcity is driven entirely by natural survivorship rates rather than intentional production limits.

Investment Outlook

The card lacks rookie-card status or special parallel treatments, which are primary drivers for collector demand and value appreciation in vintage football sets. Interest is likely limited to specialized collectors focusing on 1987 Topps Pittsburgh Steelers memorabilia or Mike Merriweather specifically. Without scarcity mechanics or significant player accolades highlighted in the attributes, long-term capital appreciation potential remains minimal compared to higher-tier issues.
