Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this Valeri Karpov rookie card typically range from $0.99 to $2.50 plus shipping. Graded copies rarely appear at auction due to low demand.
Condition Details
Visible corner wear and rounding on all four corners; silvering/chipping along the bottom edge; surface scratching on the 'Premier Prospect' foil seal; potential soft top-right corner; the card also appears to have some slight bowing from being in a binder sleeve.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card shows significant corner and edge wear that would likely result in a grade of 4 or 5. Grading costs would far exceed the market value of the card.
Card Description
Valeri Karpov is pictured in the 'eggplant and teal' Mighty Ducks of Anaheim home jersey from the early 90s. The design features a dual-image layout: a full-action shot on the left and a filtered teal portrait on the right. A gold foil 'Rookie' emblem is located at the bottom left.
Notable Features
Includes the Upper Deck SP 'Premier Prospect' gold foil seal; features the original Mighty Ducks of Anaheim logo; designated as a Rookie Card (RC).
Authentication Notes
The card features the correct gold foil stamping and the characteristic light-refracting 'SP' logo of the era. No signs of counterfeting are present; this is a standard mass-produced card from the 1990s junk wax era.
