Market context
As a vintage issue, condition is everything — most surviving copies show wear from decades of handling, which is why high-grade examples command such dramatic premiums over raw copies.
Hockey's collector base is loyal and international, with Upper Deck flagship issues and star rookies driving the market.
Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $0.98 and top grades reaching $112.80, 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.
When choosing a grader, PSA slabs typically resell fastest, BGS rewards truly pristine copies, and SGC/CGC offer faster turnarounds — compare each label's value in the grade table above.
