Arvydas Sabonis rookie, how rare is this?

I purchased this recently and was wondering how rare is this set? PSA 6 seems a bit low but I like the overall eye appeal, is this set a tough to grade high?

Had he not played in Europe he would have been an NBA all time great!

Cool card by the way! I'm going after one now.

+1
My dad used to tell me he was a "hell of a player" in his younger days (before nba mainly). I've only seen a few online clips of him (when he was young) but he looked very dominant.

im not too familiar with the merchante set but I know the Jordan card can go for a decent price in mid to high grade. Cool set!

Nice card. There is a Jordan in that set too. In the 1986 Merchante set is David Robinson's first card as well. Don't get down on a PSA 6 with the Merchante cards as these cards are typically glued into albums and have paper loss and well people in Europe didn't take care of them the way we were caring for baseball cards in 1986. High grades are all but impossible.

Here's a Robinson:
