Upper Deck
Demand Level
Moderate to Low. While Lemieux is a Top 5 all-time player, this is a base card from a period of massive overproduction (Junk Wax Era).
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$1.00 - $3.00
Graded Value
PSA 8: $15-20, PSA 9: $30-40, PSA 10: $150-200. Note: Grading costs often exceed value for mid-grades.
Comparable Sales
Recent raw sales on eBay consistently fall between $0.99 and $2.50 plus shipping. PSA 10 examples have spiked to $150 occasionally, but lower grades rarely sell for more than the cost of shipping.
Description
Featured here is a classic 1991-92 Upper Deck card showcasing Mario Lemieux following the Pittsburgh Penguins' Stanley Cup victory. The card features a high-gloss finish typical of early Upper Deck releases, showing Lemieux smiling while holding the Stanley Cup aloft. The bottom banner features the 'PENGUINS' team name in bold yellow lettering.
Key Features
Features Hockey Hall of Fame legend Mario Lemieux with the Stanley Cup; iconic early 90s photography from the 'Junk Wax' era.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The holographic Upper Deck logo on the back (not visible but standard for the set) and the specific typography for the era are hard to replicate. This card was mass-produced and is rarely counterfeited.
Flaws to Note
Possible surface compression or 'ghosting' from being kept in a screw-down holder without a recessed area; potential yellowing of edges or slight corner dings visible through the case.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for a single sale. Given the low value, it is often sold better as part of a Lemieux player lot or a 1991 Upper Deck team set.
Selling Tips
Remove from the screw-down holder carefully and place into a modern penny sleeve and top-loader to prevent surface damage. Highlight 'Stanley Cup' in the title to attract team collectors.
