About this card's market
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 cards trade in a tighter but dedicated market — key rookies and vintage stars hold value well.
Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $2.88 and top grades reaching $359.00, 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.
PSA remains the most liquid grading label in the hobby, while BGS (with its Black Label 10) and modern entrants CGC and SGC have growing followings — the table above shows how each label prices for this card.
