The 1971 O-Pee-Chee Phil Esposito #253 is a Hockey card released in 1971. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $6.39.
An ungraded copy is worth around $6.39, a PSA 9 around $525.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $737.90 and a pristine BGS 10 around $959.00. That's roughly a 115× 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 $6.39 and top grades reaching $737.90, 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.
