The math is close. Slab if you want liquidity and a cert; stay raw if you like the card in hand.

Grade yield

48% chance of PSA 9+. Net potential upside: −$34 after grading costs. Leave it raw.

PSA regular · $50 fee · $15 ship · $8 insurance · about 45 days. Shifted by this photo's 7.5 and 32,800 graded copies. Not a PSA yield.

Raw $240 · PSA 10 $480 · PSA 9 $210 · PSA 8 no book

  • PSA 1014% · pop 7,200+$112 after fee
  • PSA 934% · pop 16,400-$123 after fee
  • PSA 811%

Net is the slab price minus a 13% take, ship pad, a $50 fee, and raw. A 10 is not the likely outcome of a 9 photo.

Hold or sell

Mixed book — no rush

Liquidity 65

Hockey season is open. Young Guns move. Base cards sit. One census snapshot — not a live pop velocity.

Trust shield

Check these tells

A phone photo cannot measure font kerning or a rosette against a reference set. These are the known tells for this issue.

  • Upper Deck Young Guns hologram must show the correct diamond under tilt
  • OPC vs Topps vs UD Young Guns are three different cards — read the back

Authenticity

Likely authentic

Visual review, not a cert.

Census match on a well-documented issue. Still verify holograms, stamps, and stock in hand — photos miss texture.

  • Print and type match known copies of this issue
  • Stock and finish consistent with the set
  • 2023-24 Young Guns. Clear UV and the UD hologram — reprints showed up the week it landed.

Tells

How fakes fail

The hologram is the whole authenticity call.

  • Upper Deck Young Guns hologram must show the correct diamond under tilt
  • OPC vs Topps vs UD Young Guns are three different cards — read the back
  • Canvas and Clear Cut extras get sold as the flagship RC
  • 1979 OPC Gretzky is bilingual on the back; Topps is English-only

On this issue: 2023-24 Young Guns. Clear UV and the UD hologram — reprints showed up the week it landed.

Centering & surface

Meter L/R and T/B from this photo, then loupe the print. A hint at what PSA, BGS, or SGC might say — not a cert.

Scan a photo of this copy to measure borders.

Lot notes

The McDavid-class YG that still has a listed stack. Canvas and extras are another book.
