Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent-Mint (EX-MT 6)
Estimated Market Value
$10.00 - $25.00 (Raw); $60.00 - $100.00 (PSA 9)
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of the Row 2 base card range from $12 to $22. High-grade PSA 9 copies have moved for approximately $85.
Condition Details
Top edge shows minor chipping and handling wear. Centering appears slightly shifted to the left and bottom. Potential surface scuffing visible on the high-gloss gold foil area. Corners have slight softening.
Grading Recommendation
Likely not worth grading unless there is sentimental value. The visible edge chipping and centering would likely limit the grade to a PSA 6 or 7, where the cost of grading would exceed the added value. Only Mint or Gem Mint copies see significant value spikes for this specific base variant.
Card Description
The card features Wayne Gretzky in his Los Angeles Kings away white jersey with the captain's 'C'. Gretzky is shown in a dynamic skating pose holding his E-ASTON stick. The background is a premium gold-toned metallic foil with wave textures, typical of the high-end Row 2 design in the Fleer Showcase set.
Notable Features
Features 'The Great One' Wayne Gretzky. Part of the tiered Row system (Row 2 is the most common of the three variations for this year's Fleer Showcase). High-gloss foil finish.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Fleer Showcase card. The foil stamping, font for Gretzky's name, and card stock are consistent with late 90s Fleer Skybox production. No signs of reprint or alteration.
