Era / Decade
1994 (Dated explicitly on packaging as 'New 1994 Edition')
Material
Molded plastic figure; cardboard backing with plastic blister seal; cardstock collectible card.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The item is still sealed in the original blister pack (MOC - Mint on Card). However, there is visible 'card curl' (warping of the cardboard), some edge wear, and a small tear or price tag residue area at the top right near the peg hole. The blister is clear but shows minor scuffing.
Demand Level
Moderate. While Starting Lineup figures are common, Steve Yzerman is a top-tier player, keeping demand steady among 'The Captain' collectors and hockey historians.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the gold standard for sports collectibles. Mercari is also a good secondary option. Facebook Marketplace in the Detroit/Michigan area would avoid shipping costs for a local buyer.
Selling Tips
Photograph the figure from all angles to show the blister is still fully attached. Mention 'MOC' (Mint on Card) or 'New in Box' in the title. Use keywords like 'NHL', 'Detroit Red Wings', 'Vintage', and 'The Captain'. Ship in a sturdy box, never a bubble mailer, to prevent further damage to the cardboard backing.
