Bobby Orr RC Pricing Help
Hello everyone,
I recently picked up an Orr RC. Prices for this card are insane, so usually well out of my budget. I am hoping to sell it, and use that money towards a lower grade copy. It says altered, but I can not figure out how as it seems to be the correct size. Regardless, it is what it is and I am curious as to what people think the value is? This one is KSA and trimmed and still went for over $2000: https://www.ebay.com/itm/38608596975...orig_cvip=true This one is SGC and is altered with "Color added", and still went for $3000: https://www.ebay.com/p/22056484566?iid=386090087902 Mine has better eye appeal than both. |

My experience has been that a card gets "altered" if there is more than one issue, otherwise would be expressly stated why. I think your card almost certainly has some color added at some corners and (this is just a guess) it's possible that it was in a screw down which may have compressed the card at the corners and made it really thin there.
That can be a common double issue, the screw down compresses and rubs the color off corners so someone colors it up but the card stock is still thin there. I can't tell if the bottom edge is cut a little irregular or not, but that's something to inspect yourself. As for value, it does vary a lot as you know. People will want to know what the alterations are, so do your best to figure it out and go from there I guess. Last edited by CardPadre; 01-24-2024 at 01:09 PM. |

Thank you for this information. Maybe I will start with $3000 OBO and go from there. Seems like $2000-$3000 is the range, even though that’s a pretty big range.

Top left corner has color added, but not top right (when you’re looking at card in horizontal orientation). eta: I only know this with certainty because it’s my card now. There is also color at the top middle edge…on the literal edge between the front and back of card.
