Collector's notes
Vintage cards from this era were printed long before collectors thought about preservation, so well-centered, sharp-cornered copies are genuinely scarce. That scarcity is what drives the gap between raw and graded prices.
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 $0.85 and top grades reaching $101.78, 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.
