Demand Level
Low to Moderate. While Ed Belfour is a legend, the high production volume of 1991 Stadium Club ensures there is an abundant supply. Collectors typically only seek 'Gem Mint' copies of this specific card.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$0.25 - $1.00
Graded Value
PSA 6: $5-$10, PSA 8: $15-$25, PSA 10: $75-$100+ (Due to high population of this set and low demand for mid-grade copies, grading this specific card is not financially recommended unless the surface is flawless.)
Comparable Sales
Raw copies consistently sell for $0.50 to $1.50 in various online marketplaces. PSA 10 examples have sold recently in the $80-$110 range, but lower grades (PSA 8 and below) often struggle to sell for more than the cost of the grading slab itself.
Description
This 1991-92 Stadium Club card features Chicago Blackhawks Hall of Fame goaltender Ed Belfour posing with the Vezina Trophy in a tuxedo. A premium card for its era, it features full-bleed photography (no borders) and elegant gold foil stamping for the 'Vezina Trophy Winner' logo and player name. The reverse features an image of Belfour's first Topps card, a design staple of the early Stadium Club 'Members Only' era.
Key Features
Hall of Fame goaltender; Iconic 'tuxedo' photo; Part of the highly successful early-90s premium sports card boom; Commemorates his first Vezina Trophy win.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. This card features the correct 'Kodak' quality gloss and high-definition photo printing typical of Stadium Club. It is not a frequently counterfeited card as it was mass-produced in the millions during the 'Junk Wax' era.
Flaws to Note
Obvious white chipping along the bottom edge; Softened lower right corner; Minor surface scratches visible on the glossy finish; Black borders are highly susceptible to showing every minor nick.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay as a 'Buy It Now' item or as part of a Hall of Fame goalie lot. It could also find a home in a 'dollar bin' at a local card show or on Sportlots/COMC.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card in its current condition, as the grading fees will far exceed the card's market value. If selling on eBay, use high-resolution photos to show the corners and use an 'eBay Standard Envelope' (under $1) to keep shipping costs low enough for a $1 card to be viable.
