The 1979 O-Pee-Chee Eric Vail #188 is a Hockey card released in 1979. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $0.86.
An ungraded copy is worth around $0.86, a PSA 9 around $24.73, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $125.55 and a pristine BGS 10 around $163.00. That's roughly a 146× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.
Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $0.86 and top grades reaching $125.55, 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.
