Mario Lemieux
Hockey · Pittsburgh Penguins · Center
Lemieux's market centers on his 1985 O-Pee-Chee #9 rookie, the most valuable hockey rookie of its era, followed by the companion 1985 Topps #9 rookie. The OPC PSA 10 is priced in the tens of thousands, but the newest PSA 10 sale I could confirm is from mid-2025, so the top end is thinly traded right now. Topps copies sell far lower, with PSA 9 examples around $1,000 in June 2026. Autographs and later inserts are thin, with few recent sold comps.
Prices are recent sales we found on Oct 8, 2026 and refresh weekly while people are looking. Check the sold prices before you buy.
