The 1988 O-Pee-Chee Billy Smith #17 is a Hockey card released in 1988. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.12.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $1.12 and top grades reaching $53.42, grading a sharp copy of this card can clearly pay for itself — the spread comfortably covers a typical ~$25.00 grading fee. The catch: only submit copies with strong centering, clean corners, and unmarked surfaces, because anything below a 9 usually erases the math.
