Demand Level
Low. Jeffrey Viel is a depth player/enforcer rather than a star. Market demand is limited primarily to San Jose Sharks completionists and Young Guns set builders.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$1.00 - $3.00
Graded Value
PSA 8: $10-15, PSA 9: $20-25, PSA 10: $45-55
Comparable Sales
Recent raw sales on eBay have ranged from $0.99 to $2.50 plus shipping. Graded copies are rarely seen on the market because the player profile does not typically justify the grading expense.
Description
A 2021-22 Upper Deck Series 1 Jeffrey Viel Young Guns Rookie Card. Features the San Jose Sharks forward in action wearing the teal home jersey. The iconic 'Young Guns' script runs vertically down the right side over a silver-grey background bar. Upper Deck logo in the top left corner.
Key Features
Official Rookie Card designation from the flagship Upper Deck Hockey set. Young Guns are the most collected and sought-after rookie cards for casual and serious hockey collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. Features the correct UV gloss finish, holofoil-style Young Guns lettering, and crisp printing consistent with Upper Deck production. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant whitening seen on the bottom right corner. Minor softening on the top left corner. Edges appear slightly rough, which is common with modern Upper Deck paper stock. These flaws suggest the card would likely not achieve a Gem Mint PSA 10 grade.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a Buy It Now/Best Offer) or COMC (Check Out My Cards). Due to low value, it is best sold in a 'Sharks Team Lot' or as part of a bulk Young Guns listing to save on shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. The cost of the grading fee far exceeds the market value of the card. List it with 'Young Guns' and 'Sharks Rookie' in the title. Use a penny sleeve and top loader for shipping. Use the eBay Standard Envelope for $1 or less shipping to stay competitive.
