The 1987 O-Pee-Chee Tom McCarthy #38 is a Hockey card released in 1987. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $0.83.

An ungraded copy is worth around $0.83, a PSA 9 around $11.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $104.50 and a pristine BGS 10 around $136.00. That's roughly a 126× 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 $0.83 and top grades reaching $104.50, 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.
