Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent-Mint (EX-MT 6) to Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30.00 - $55.00; Graded PSA 10: $150.00 - $225.00 (Market fluctuates based on Hintz's playoff performance)
Recent Sales
Comparable Roope Hintz Young Guns base cards sell for $20-$40, while silver foil/canvas variants command premiums. Recent eBay sales for Hintz rookies remain steady due to his role as a top-line center for the Dallas Stars.
Condition Details
Visible edge whitening along the top and bottom borders. Top-right corner appears slightly soft. Centering seems slightly shifted toward the bottom left. Surface quality through the top loader suggests light scratches on the holder, possibly on the card face.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection (PC). The visible edge wear and centering issues likely limit the grade to a PSA 7 or 8, which would not significantly increase market value over the cost of the grading fee.
Card Description
Player is depicted in his Dallas Stars home green jersey, number 24, in an action pose with his hockey stick. The card features the iconic 'YOUNG GUNS' branding in the lower third. The design uses a stylized comic-book or illustrated 'Fanimation' style background with teal and clouds, differnet from the standard 2018 base series.
Notable Features
Features the official 'Young Guns' rookie designation. This specific card appears to be an artistic or canvas-style variant rather than the standard gloss paper base card, which is more collectible.
Authentication Notes
The Upper Deck logo in the top right and the specific 'Young Guns' font hierarchy are consistent with authentic 2018-19 Upper Deck releases. No immediate signs of counterfeiting identified, though card stock thickness should be verified.
