Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent (EX 5)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8; Graded PSF 8: $40 - $60; PSA 10: $500+
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies of this card sell on eBay for approximately $5-$10 plus shipping. PSA 8 copies hover around $45, while Gem Mint examples command significant premiums due to the difficulty of finding centered OPC cards.
Condition Details
The card exhibits significant top-to-bottom centering issues (heavy bottom bias). There is visible softening on the corners, particularly the bottom left and top left. The edges show minor rough-cut characteristics typical of OPC stock but with some slight wear. A small surface indentation or bubble is visible near the O-Pee-Chee logo in the bottom left corner.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The centering is significantly off-center (OC) toward the bottom, which would likely result in an 'OC' qualifier or a significantly lower technical grade. The cost of grading would currently exceed the market value of the expected grade.
Card Description
Cam Neely is depicted in his Boston Bruins home black and gold jersey, wearing the 'A' for Assistant Captain. He is shown in an action shot following through on a shot. The card design features the classic 1987-88 hockey layout with a rounded rectangular photo border and heavy yellow accents for the team name 'BRUINS' and player/position nameplate.
Notable Features
Hall of Fame player; First Bruins card for Neely; O-Pee-Chee brand (indicated by the logo bottom left); Bilingual text on back (standard for OPC).
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic O-Pee-Chee printing from 1987. The card stock shows the characteristic light-colored cardboard/newsprint backing and the rough-cut edges common to O-Pee-Chee manufacturing processes of that era.
