Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good (VG 3)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2.00 - $5.00; Graded (PSA 8+): $40.00 - $80.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for under $5 on eBay. Graded PSA 7 versions sell for approximately $20, while PSA 9 versions can reach $150+ due to the difficulty of finding well-centered O-Pee-Chee cards from this era.
Condition Details
Moderate softening and rounding of corners, particularly visible on the bottom right and left. Significant centering issues (heavy shift towards the bottom-right). Minor edge wear and potential surface scratches or dullness consistent with storage in a vinyl page.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The centering is significantly off-center (estimated 80/20 or worse) and the corner wear would likely result in a grade of 3 or 4. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the expected grade.
Card Description
The card features an 'IN ACTION' subset design with Paul Coffey in his Edmonton Oilers away jersey and gear. He is shown in a dynamic skating pose with his stick on the ice. The top header is blue and white with red banner text. The O-Pee-Chee logo is located in the bottom right corner. Position is listed as Oilers Defense/Defenseur.
Notable Features
Features the 'IN ACTION' subset designation; bilingual text (English/French) characteristic of O-Pee-Chee; Hall of Fame player.
Authentication Notes
The card stock appears consistent with 1980s O-Pee-Chee cardboard. The rough-cut edges (partially visible) and color registration are typical for this production year. No immediate signs of counterfeiting detected.
