Hoops Basketball Card Appraisal

1990-91 NBA Hoops Joe Barry Carroll Basketball Card

This item is a 1990-91 NBA Hoops Series 1 basketball trading card featuring Joe Barry Carroll, identified as a 'Center'. The card's front design is consistent with the standard NBA Hoops Series 1 release, characterized by a grey border framing the player image. The player's name, "JOE BARRY CARROLL," is prominently displayed at the top in dark blue or black sans-serif font, with his position, "Center," below it in a smaller font. The central image depicts Joe Barry Carroll in action, dressed in what appears to be a Denver Nuggets uniform with shades of purple, yellow, and white, holding a basketball. The image itself is set within an arched or semi-circular frame, typical of this card set. At the bottom of the card, the 'NBA HOOPS' logo is visible on a dark blue banner. To the right of the logo, a circular emblem for the 'Denver Nuggets' is present, featuring the team's rainbow skyline logo and 'Denver Nuggets' text. The card is currently housed within a clear plastic nine-pocket page, part of a binder or album, which indicates it has been stored for protection. Visible condition issues include potential slight corner wear typical of cards handled over time, though difficult to assess definitively through the plastic sleeve. The card appears to be in relatively good condition for its age, with no obvious major creases, tears, or significant surface abrasions visible. The printing quality appears standard for early 1990s trading cards, with a glossy finish. This card is from the 1990-91 NBA Hoops Series 1, making its estimated age around 33-34 years old.
