1991-92 Upper Deck Wayne Gretzky All-Star #49
Upper Deck · Collectibles & Antiques > Sports Cards
Era / Decade
Early 1990s (1991 production)
Material
Cardstock with glossy coating and anti-counterfeit hologram on the reverse.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The card appears to be in an oversized protective sleeve or frame. Based on visual inspection, edges show minor whitening and centering is slightly off-top, which is common for this era.
Demand Level
Moderate. Being a Gretzky card, there is always a buyer base, but because millions were printed, it is not a 'rare' find.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$1.00 - $5.00 (Raw/Ungraded)
Estimated Retail Value
$0.50 - $1.00 (Original pack price equivalent)
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sold listings show raw copies selling for $0.99 to $3.00 plus shipping. High-grade PSA 10 versions can fetch $30-$50, but grading costs exceed the value of this specific raw card.

Selling Tips
