Can’t find a value of it online or in recent completed auctions. I know it’s nowhere near the value of the 85 Topps card, but if anyone can show me some sales history of it graded a PSA 10 I would appreciate it.

Pretty sure it's not even worth grading. Better off just buying a PSA 10 for $20-35. Cost of grading and if you don't hit a 10 on 1 card is a loss.
They are on ebay in completed sales (ignore topps tiffany version) - https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=1987 Topps Mark McGwire psa 10&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684
I have the chance to buy one graded a 10 already for $30. Just don’t know if it’s worth it.

Thank you. Seems consistent in pricing around $25-30. Psa doesn’t have a price value for it unfortunately in the SMR. Is there one in VCP?

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Worth picking the card up for historical significance or not?

I can't see it shooting up in value. Just buy it if you like/want the card
I haven't picked up his RC in 10 but for 30 bucks? And it's centered really well?
Why not? From a collector's perspective - he was a great hitter even before PEDs.
Really don't care to get into a debate about this tho.
I purchased an 87T Bonds in 10 for the reason you asked - historical. Again - a great hitter IMO.
I have his 85 Topps USA card in a 10 so I figured I might pick this one up to complement it.
I don’t personally collect him for any reason in particular and really don’t care for the controversy myself. Just looking to collect historically significant cards. Figured if I had one of his “rookie” cards then I may as well grab the other official one. Plus I think the card has eye appeal. I like the 87 Topps series.
