Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Good (G 2) to Very Good (VG 3)
Estimated Market Value
$0.50 - $2.00 (Raw); Graded value is negligible due to current condition and low player demand.
Recent Sales
Recent sales for mid-grade copies of this card range from $1 to $3 on platforms like eBay. High-grade (PSA 9+) examples sell for over $20, but this specimen does not qualify.
Condition Details
Significant edge wear and chipping along the right border; soft, rounded corners; several horizontal surface creases visible across the player's chest and face; poor centering shifted heavily to the top-right.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading (approx. $15-$25) far exceeds the market value of the card in its current condition.
Card Description
Lorne Stamler is shown in his Toronto Maple Leafs home white jersey with blue accents. The design features a circular team logo in the upper left corner with 'Left Wing' text and a banner reading 'MAPLE LEAFS'. The player is holding a hockey stick and wearing number 17 (partially visible).
Notable Features
This is the rookie card for Lorne Stamler. It features the classic 1978 Topps hockey design with the curved banner team name.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic, showing age-appropriate card stock aging and print patterns (half-tone dots) typical for late 1970s Topps products.
