Condition Details
Centering appears slightly shifted towards the right border (~40/60). The corners look relatively sharp through the sleeve, with minor corner touch visible on the bottom right. Surface appears clean without major scratches.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading if the surface is flawless. Joe Sakic is a Hall of Famer and this is his most iconic rookie card. A high grade (9 or 10) significantly increases value, though centering may hold this specific copy back from a 10.
Card Description
Features Joe Sakic in his Quebec Nordiques uniform. Position: Center. The card back typically includes his junior hockey stats with Swift Current and his first NHL season stats.
Notable Features
Includes the 'O-Pee-Chee' logo which is generally more desirable to collectors than the Topps version of the same year. Features the 'Nordiques' team name in stylized font.
Authentication Notes
The O-Pee-Chee 1989 set is known for rough 'wire-cut' edges; very clean edges can sometimes be a sign of trimming or reprints, but this copy appears consistent with authentic period stock. Font kerning and blue border color depth match authentic releases.
