Collector's notes

Vintage cards from this era were printed long before collectors thought about preservation, so well-centered, sharp-cornered copies are genuinely scarce. That scarcity is what drives the gap between raw and graded prices.

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 $1.05 and top grades reaching $116.18, 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.
