Matt Beaty Los Angeles Dodgers Archives Baseball Card Appraisal
Category: Sports Memorabilia
Description
This item is a baseball card featuring Matt Beaty of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The card is from the Archives series, indicated by the text "ARCHIVES" in the upper right corner. The image is a black and white photograph of Matt Beaty in a Dodgers uniform and cap, holding a baseball bat. The photo appears to be in a retro style, intended to evoke older baseball cards. The player's name, "MATT BEATY", is printed in white font against a dark background on the bottom of the card. To the right of his name, it appears to state "OF / 1B", indicating his primary positions, Outfielder and First Baseman. The top left corner of the card has a box with the word "Dodgers" in white font. The card is protected within a clear plastic sleeve or binder page, suggesting it is part of a collection. The overall condition of the card within the sleeve appears to be good, with no obvious creases or damage visible through the plastic. The edges of the card appear sharp. The black and white image is clear and well-defined, and the text is legible. The card's design is simple and classic, fitting with the "Archives" theme.
Appraisal Report
I have examined the provided image of this Matt Beaty Los Angeles Dodgers Archives baseball card. Based on the visual evidence, the card appears to be in excellent condition, well-protected within a plastic sleeve. The edges appear sharp, the corners strong, and the surface free from visible creases or damage. The black and white image is clear and the text is crisp. The authenticity of the card's production by 'Archives' is typical for modern base cards, which are mass-produced. Market conditions for base cards of non-star players are generally low. Comparable sales for Matt Beaty base cards, particularly from the Archives set, typicallyFall within a very modest range. There is no significant rarity associated with this type of card, nor is there high demand for this specific player's standard base cards. Factors significantly impacting value would only include it being a rare parallel insert, an autographed version, or being professionally graded at a high level; none of which can be confirmed from the image provided. It's crucial to note that authenticating the card's production without physical examination is impossible from an image alone. I cannot definitively confirm it isn't a counterfeit print without in-person inspection, though counterfeits of such low-value cards are uncommon. Full authentication would require physical examination to assess card stock, printing methods, and potentially professional grading by a reputable company like PSA, BGS, or SGC.
