Upper Deck · Collectibles & Antiques > Sports Cards
Era / Decade
Late 2010s (Released 2017)
Material
Standard 20pt cardstock with a matte/semi-gloss finish and silver foil accents.
Condition
Good. Based on the blurry photo, there appears to be significant silvering/chipping on the bottom right edge. Surface scratches are likely, though centring looks decent from this angle.
Demand Level
Moderate. Gretzky collectors are always active, but as a modern mass-produced insert, there is high supply.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$1.50 - $4.00 (Raw); $15 - $25 (PSA 10)
Estimated Retail Value
$4.00 - $6.00 (Original pack price equivalent)
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sold listings show similar raw copies selling between $0.99 and $3.50 plus shipping. Mint graded copies (PSA 10) can reach $20-$30 but this specific card does not meet that condition threshold.
Description
A 2017-18 Upper Deck Centennial Standouts insert card featuring Wayne Gretzky in his New York Rangers uniform. The card commemorates the NHL's 100th anniversary and lists his tenure with the team as 1996-1999.
Key Features
Features 'The Great One' Wayne Gretzky, highly recognizable Upper Deck logo, Centennial 100th anniversary branding, and iconic Rangers blue jersey. It is part of a popular nostalgic insert set.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic Upper Deck holographic/foil logo in the top left corner, standard commemorative font, 1917-2017 NHL shield logo. High confidence.
Flaws to Note
Visible edge wear and corner softening on the bottom right. The silver borders on these cards are notorious for showing 'snow' or chipping, which is visible here. Not a candidate for professional grading.
