Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good (VG 3)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 | PSA 8: $40 - $60 | PSA 9: $150 - $250
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $4 to $10. High-grade (PSA 9/10) examples from the O-Pee-Chee release command a premium over the standard Topps version due to shorter print runs in Canada.
Condition Details
Moderate to heavy edge wear is visible, particularly on the left edge with a noticeable surface chip/paper loss. Corners show rounding and wear. Centering is shifted toward the bottom and left. Surface appears to have light scuffing.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. Due to the visible paper loss on the left edge and corner wear, it would likely receive a low grade (VG 3 range), making the grading fee higher than the card's final market value.
Card Description
Nolan Ryan is pictured in his Houston Astros uniform, wind-up position, wearing jersey number 34. The card features the iconic 1987 wood-grain border design with the Astros team logo in the top left and a blue nameplate at the bottom.
Notable Features
Hall of Fame player; O-Pee-Chee logo (Canadian version of Topps); wood-grain border design; back contains French and English text (typical of OPC).
Authentication Notes
The O-Pee-Chee card stock is typically brighter/whiter on the back compared to the grayish-brown Topps stock. The rough 'wire-cut' edges are a common characteristic of authentic O-Pee-Chee cards from this era.
