Next months. Next 3-6 months prediction: Prices will remain stable between $10.00 and $25.00 for ungraded copies.
Long term. 1-3 year prediction: Potential gradual increase to $30.00-$50.00 if Worthy becomes a standout NFL player, but limited by current collector demand.

Collector notes
Condition. Key things to check include centering of the autograph, sharpness of the full art edges, and absence of creases or scratches on the glossy surface. Common flaws include autograph smudging, edge wear, and surface scratches due to the high-gloss finish.
Storage. Best practices include storing the card in a rigid, non-PVC plastic sleeve, placing it in a card box or collector's safe, and avoiding exposure to humidity, sunlight, or extreme temperatures to preserve the autograph and print quality.
Authenticity. To spot fakes, verify the Beckett or graded authentication label, check the unique autograph signature against known genuine examples, and confirm the card number (BA-XW) and set name. Reprints often lack the correct holographic security features or have inconsistent ink quality.
