Dave Andreychuk Appraisal

Dave Andreychuk Upper Deck Hockey Card

This item is a standard-sized trading card, likely made of coated card stock, featuring hockey player Dave Andreychuk. The card is currently housed in a clear plastic sleeve or top loader, indicating an attempt to protect its condition. The primary image on the card depicts Dave Andreychuk in action on an ice rink, wearing a blue and yellow Buffalo Sabres jersey with the number '25' prominently displayed on the back and 'ANDREYCHUK' across the shoulders. He is shown in a skating pose, leaning forward with his stick on the ice, appearing to be in the midst of play, possibly battling another player whose white jersey and helmet are partially visible in the background. The colors are vibrant, reflecting the team's iconic blue and yellow scheme. The card design includes a 'Upper Deck' logo in the top left corner, indicating the manufacturer. The player's name, 'Dave Andreychuk', is printed in a white sans-serif font at the bottom of the card, against a dark blue or black background. To the right of his name, there's a dynamic design element featuring multiple overlapping images of the Buffalo Sabres team logo, resembling a puck in motion. The overall condition of the card, as viewed through the plastic protection, appears to be good with no obvious creases, heavy wear, or damage visible at this resolution. The edges seem sharp, and the corners relatively intact, though a precise assessment would require removal from the protective sleeve. Given the visible 'Upper Deck' branding and the style typically associated with modern sports cards, it likely dates from the 1990s or early 2000s, a period when Upper Deck was a prominent sports card manufacturer. The card exhibits typical mass-produced quality with a glossy finish. Without viewing the reverse side, specific year and series details are not discernible.
