Help with a Luongo card

[comfortably9numb]

Hello all,

I've had a card, and I've had someone show interest in it. But the card has actually be something that I've wanted to ask about for a while. It is...

2002-03 Stadium Club Youngstars Relics Huselius/Luongo

It's numbered out of 100, and i have a slight issue with it. It's slightly curved. Not creased, and not bend, the card just has a slight curve to it. It's just kind of done this over the past 8 years (it was pack pulled ages ago). So I have two questions...

1) Is this card rare on the market? I know the trio's are insanely hard to find, but what about the dual? does that increase the value I should look for? and...

2) Does the curve to the card really hinder the value that much? It's nothing major, and there is a frontal scan in my bucket (I can't post a scan of the side until saturday when i move out of the dorms). But none-the-less its there.

I just want too be fair to both myself, and anyone interested. Thanks!

If it's curved, I don't think people will complain too much. Stick it in a top loader and it will straighten itself out!

I think I remember this set. I had some too that had a natural curve sort of like the bowman chrome football and baseball cards with that gloss coating on it made the cards bend for some reason. Just let the member you are trading with know what the card condition is. Scanning it will do no good really. try taking a picture of it showing the curve and sending it to the guy you are trading with.

All thicker cards produced by Topps have a curve to them.

Every Issue of Finest, Topps Chrome, OPC Chrome, Stadium Club, Stadiium Club Chrome, etc.

They are made with superior stock paper, and conform to however they are comfortable. Many Stadium Club chase cards and decoys do the same thing as they are slightly thicker than regular base stock paper.

oh okay good. So stick to the regular BV then when trading?

Yes, standard BV.


The last variation in ADDED Book Value is a non-corrected 91-92 Vladimir Konstantinov OPC Premier Rookie Card #118a. $30.00. The corrected version is .75 cents.


Since this card, there has been No Premium added on:


Miss-Print Cards
Wrong Photo Cards
Error Cards
Mis-cut Cards
Cards with Missing Logos
Bent Cards
Wharped Cards

They all share whatever the issued Book Value is at normal price.
