Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.50 - $2.00; PSA 10: $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies typically hover around $1 plus shipping. PSA 9 copies sell for approximately $10 to $15, while PSA 10 gem mint examples have trended downward from historic highs to the $50 range.
Condition Details
The card has some visible edge wear and corner softness on the top left. Centering appears slightly shifted towards the bottom and right. The card is stored in a top-loader which protects it, but surface condition through the plastic shows no major deep scratches.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card is a high-print volume base rookie from the 'junk wax' era. Unless it is a flawless candidate for a PSA 10, the grading fees ($15-$25) will significantly exceed the market value of the card.
Card Description
Nolan is pictured in his blue Quebec Nordiques jersey (number 11) in an action shot against the Philadelphia Flyers. A Flyers player (number 29) is visible in the background. The design features a white border with an Upper Deck logo in the top left and a puck-themed 'N' logo in the bottom right.
Notable Features
Features the official RC (Rookie Card) status as this is Nolan's first-year card from the premier Upper Deck hockey release. Nolan was the 1st overall pick in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic with correct font treatments and high-resolution printing typical of 1990 Upper Deck production. This card has not been known to be widely counterfeited due to its high production volume and low individual value.
