2008 Upper Deck John Curry #489 value & prices

The 2008 Upper Deck John Curry #489 is a Hockey card released in 2008. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $3.51.

An ungraded copy is worth around $3.51, a PSA 9 around $17.98, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $61.22 and a pristine BGS 10 around $80.00. That's roughly a 17× 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 $3.51 and top grades reaching $61.22, 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.
