Grading has a major impact on value: an ungraded copy is worth around $1.12, a PSA 9 around $16.17, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $52.29 and a pristine BGS 10 around $68.00. That's roughly a 47× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.

Collector's notes

Cards from this era were printed in enormous quantities during the hobby's boom years, so raw copies are plentiful — but strict grading separates the true gems from the masses, and top grades remain hard to pull off.

Hockey's collector base is loyal and international, with Upper Deck flagship issues and star rookies driving the market.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $1.12 and top grades reaching $52.29, 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.
