The card showcases Upper Deck's iconic high-quality photography and white border design. The reverse features a full statistical breakdown of his storied career with the Canadiens, Rangers, and Nordiques, alongside their trademark anti-counterfeit hologram.

Authenticity Indicators
The Upper Deck diamond hologram is visible on the reverse, which is the primary security feature for this era. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
The card is currently sitting on a sock/fabric without protection, which often leads to surface scratches or snagging of corner fibers. Centering is slightly biased toward the right side.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot on eBay or listed individually on COMC. Local card shops are unlikely to buy single base cards from this era unless they are in pristine PSA 10 condition.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are certain it is a flawless PSA 10, as the grading fees ($19+) significantly exceed the raw value. Place the card in a penny sleeve and top loader immediately to prevent further condition degradation.
