Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good (VG 3)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $7 | Graded (PSA 7): $30 - $45
Recent Sales
Comparable O-Pee-Chee goal leader cards in lower mid-grade raw condition typically sell for under $10 on eBay. Higher grade PSA examples (PSA 8+) fetch significant premiums due to the difficulty of finding clean O-Pee-Chee centered cuts.
Condition Details
Significant rounding and softening of all four corners; heavy surface dirt and yellowing/toning across the cream borders; centering is shifted toward the bottom and right; multiple surface scuffs and possible indentations visible through the plastic sleeve.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth grading. The physical wear on the corners and surface staining would result in a low technical grade (likely a 3 or 4), which would not provide a return on the cost of grading fees.
Card Description
A horizontal multi-player card titled 'GLS AGAINST AVERAGE LDRS'. It features headshots of three legendary goalies: Ken Dryden (Canadiens), Bernie Parent (Flyers), and Gilles Gilbert (Bruins). The design uses a cream-colored border with an NHL shield and the O-Pee-Chee branding on the left.
Notable Features
Features two Hall of Fame goaltenders (Dryden and Parent). O-Pee-Chee version is generally preferred by Canadian collectors over the Topps version due to the larger set size and slightly different card stock.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1970s O-Pee-Chee card stock, which is identifiable by the rougher, brownish back (not visible) and the specific typography and ink quality typical of the late 70s print runs.
