What a price-guide grade ladder shows
PSA’s saved 2013 Upper Deck table lists reference values of $250 at PSA 8, $500 at PSA 9 and $1,200 at PSA 10 for #238. Read those figures as entries from one guide. For a purchase, start in the grade you would be satisfied owning, then check recent sales in that grade. A high price on a gem-mint copy says little about the asking price on a raw one. 2
Look at the action image first
Upper Deck describes the limited game-photography window for a new Young Guns class. If the photograph is the draw, compare candidate copies at normal display size before magnifying the corners. Look for any line or spot that interrupts the action. Next ask for front and back views in enough detail to assess edges and corners. Decide which blemishes matter to your display before considering an upgrade. 1
