Market context

Hockey's collector base is loyal and international, with Upper Deck flagship issues and star rookies driving the market.
Is it worth grading?
The spread between raw ($3.75) and top-graded ($33.75) copies is fairly tight, so grading this card only makes financial sense for truly flawless copies — or for collectors who simply prefer slabbed cards for protection and display.
When choosing a grader, PSA slabs typically resell fastest, BGS rewards truly pristine copies, and SGC/CGC offer faster turnarounds — compare each label's value in the grade table above.
