Haha. Those are generally worthless. You can buy an entire sealed box for $10.

Edit - It's worth 1-2 bucks raw, and about 40-50 bucks as a PSA 10.

Just realized is might have said rookie on the bottom…

Could that have made it better or likely still junk?

 

[Matty]

Still worth nothing. We are talking about Modano's rookie card. Cards from the late 80s and early 90s are fun to collect because they're dirt cheap. They were produced in astronomical numbers so finding a mint one is super easy.

I bought a mint Ed Belfour rookie for a dollar shipped. The seller lost money sending it to me. lol
.

Even Brett Hull's rookie card is worth almost nothing, even as a PSA 10. My trimmed/glued Rocket Richard is worth more.

Maurice and Jean acquired. Guy threw in Bouchard and Olmstead as freebies. Both badly trimmed but still cool.

This is a good day so far. 🥳

Stopped at a dingy card store in Hamilton. Good prices on toploaders, and I got a sealed box of 91-92 OPC Premier for 20 Canadian tomatoes. 🥳

Didn't Acid Joe live in Hamilton?

Of all the Matty fly by night hobbies this is the most interesting to me.

I just looked at 1951 parkhurst cards. I got about a dozen but not graded and no big names. They were cheap back in the early 2000s. I remember when graded cards first became a thing. You could buy a bgs 7 or Psa 7 of big name guys cut the card out and list it on ungraded and sell it for more than what I paid for the bgs 7 to some speculative dumbass.

So I got the short end of the stick on this latest trade. I thought the Beliveau would clean up nicely, but turns out there was a small chunk of it missing underneath the glued paper. The seller couldn't have known, it was totally hidden from view. What most likely happened is that the card was glued into an album, ripped out for some reason and glued back in a second time. Oh well. I can probably still get $150 for it. And the Rocket Richard by itself is probably worth $150 too, even trimmed. A PSA 7 sold for $2300 recently.

Not bad for my initial $100 investment. Not that I have any intention of selling the cards. #hoarderlife

 

[FairWarning]

I’m guessing Belivieu would grade out at a 2 tops. It would sell at a 2:5-3 on a good day. It does look nice.

 

[Matty]

I think it might not even get a numerical grade because of the missing bit. "Authentic" maybe. Better to keep it raw.

I wonder what grade Gump would've got. I'm thinking PSA 4/KSA 5 or 6.

Net54 forum is good for vintage advice.

Thx FW, I just registered.

Thx FW, I just registered.

May not want to mention anything about pressing creases out. Many will look down on it.

 

[Matty]

Yeah, I know the cleaning/soaking practice is frowned upon which is odd. You'd think people would have a bigger issue with making a card dirty or creased in the first place, lol.

Here's a Gump in PSA 5. Similar corner quality, also some yellowing. Mine had a dark bar at the bottom/front, likely from UV exposure, and some residual glue on the back. Yeah, mine was a 3 or a 4 I'd say.
