Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good (VG 3) to Very Good-Excellent (VG-EX 4)
Estimated Market Value
Raw/Ungraded: $2 - $8; Graded (PSA 10): $200+; Graded (PSA 5-7): $10 - $25
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $3 to $10. High-grade PSA 10 copies have sold for significantly more, but mid-grade examples typically mirror raw prices plus a small premium for the slab.
Condition Details
The card shows significant top-to-bottom centering issues (heavy bottom-weighted). Visible surface scratches and scuffing on the top-loader which likely obscure the actual surface condition. Softening on the corners and minor edge wear consistent with a mid-grade vintage/junk wax era card. Significant yellowing/discoloration of the protective case.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. Given the centering issues and general wear, this card would likely receive a mid-grade (PSA 4-6). The cost of grading would exceed the market value of the slabbed card.
Card Description
Mark Recchi is shown in his Pittsburgh Penguins home jersey (black and yellow) in a dynamic skating pose. His position is listed as Right Wing (RW). The design features a classic yellow border with a hockey stick graphic on the left side and the team name 'PENGUINS' in capitalized yellow text.
Notable Features
This is a recognized Rookie Card (RC) of Hall of Famer Mark Recchi. It features the O-Pee-Chee logo, which is typically more desirable to collectors than the mass-produced Topps version of the same year/design.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic. The card stock shows the appropriate off-white/gray cardboard texture characteristic of 1990s O-Pee-Chee stock. The O-Pee-Chee logo font and border colors are consistent with authentic prints from that year.
