1981 O-Pee-Chee John Van Boxmeer #26 value & prices

The 1981 O-Pee-Chee John Van Boxmeer #26 is a Hockey card released in 1981. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.00.

An ungraded copy is worth around $1.00, a PSA 9 around $3.34, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $99.99 and a pristine BGS 10 around $130.00. That's roughly a 100× 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 $1.00 and top grades reaching $99.99, 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.
