The 1997 SP Authentic Joe Thornton #171 is a Hockey card released in 1997. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $2.52.
An ungraded copy is worth around $2.52, a PSA 9 around $38.27, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $220.36 and a pristine BGS 10 around $286.00. That's roughly a 87× 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 $2.52 and top grades reaching $220.36, 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.
