Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good (VG 3) to Very Good-Excellent (VG-EX 4)
Estimated Market Value
Raw/Ungraded: $30.00 - $60.00; Graded (PSA 4-5): $50.00 - $85.00; (Note: Value significantly lower than NM-MT copies due to corner rounding).
Recent Sales
High-grade PSA 8 copies have sold for $250-$400; however, raw copies with similar corner wear typically auction between $25 and $55 on eBay.
Condition Details
Moderate corner wear with rounding visible. Centering appears slightly shifted to the right. There is noticeable yellowing/toning of the card stock. Edges show minor rough 'factory' cuts typical of O-Pee-Chee, but surface stains or light scuffing may be present under the protective sleeve.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading in current condition. The significant corner wear would likely result in a grade of 4 or lower. The cost of grading would likely exceed the added value for this specific specimen.
Card Description
Features a landscape-oriented action shot of Jari Kurri in his Edmonton Oilers jersey. The card includes the 'Oilers' team name in large yellow block letters and a logo on the right. The player name and position ('Right Wing / Ailier Droit') are printed in blue and red. The card is currently housed in a vintage 'Rookie Card' branded 1-screw or snap holder.
Notable Features
Hall of Fame Rookie Card. Bilingual French/English text as standard for Canadian O-Pee-Chee releases. Features the Oilers logo and Kurri in his classic blue and orange jersey.
Authentication Notes
The card stock appears consistent with 1980s O-Pee-Chee grey/brown cardboard. The 'rough cut' edges are a hallmark of authentic OPC cards from this era. No immediate signs of counterfeiting, though a high-resolution scan of the dot patterns would be needed for 100% certainty.
