According to the collectors network website it is worth about $5.
1994-95 Upper Deck SP Jarome Iginla rookie card is listed as $8.00 - He had an off-year, but if he wins a cup with the Flames, would definitely rise in value (especially for Calgary-based collectors)
Depending on whose rookie card it is the price for some range as high as 16,000.00 or more. Die hard collectors would play more than that if the person was famous for any reason.
old comer non rookie not a rookie at all better than a rookie

No. Most Rookie cards do not read Rookie on them. A Rookie Card is a players first year of cards, whether or not it is his rookie season. Players may have one or dozens of rookie cards, depending on how highly touted he was as a youngster and in which year his rookie card was issued
Rookie Card - A players first year of cards, whether or not it is his rookie season. Players may have one or dozens of rookie cards, depending on how highly touted he was as a youngster and in which year his rookie card was issued.As defined above a player could have a number of rookie cards, and not just one "official rookie card" The amount of rookie cards could be multiplied by the number of companies that issue a card. Some players could have two Rookie cards from the same company such as a card issued in a Traded set (Topps) an update set (Fleer) or Rookie/Traded (Score), and then have a card issued in the regular set the following year. In most cases if not all the traded issue is recognized as the "official Rookie card"Minor League cards might be the players "First Cards" but are not considered true rookie cards because the player is not a Rookie until he plays for the Major Leagues. These cards are typically labeled as Rookie cards as a sales pitch to sell the card, and are not the "official rookie cards." An example would be the 1988 San Bernardino Spirit Ken Griffey Jr. minor league card number 34.The 1985 Topps card 401 is Mark McGwire's first card, and although he did not play in the Major Leagues at the time this card issued by a major company is considered to be McGwire's rookie card along with the 1987 Topps card 366. It could get confusing, but the card that is most desired by collectors could be considered as the "official rookie card" and this would be detected by the card with the highest price.The 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card #1 seems to be the collectors choice as the "official rookie card"with a book value of $40.00. Other rookie cards include 1989 Donruss Rookies card #3, 1989 Fleer card number 548, 1989 Topps traded card number 41T, 1989 Bowman card number 220, and 1989 Donruss card number 33.see Related question below for more information on these cards.
As his rookie year was 1992-93, and Collector's Choice is a low collected set, this card is of little of no value.
I'm not sure about that, but I do know that the price is going to go down mor and more by year because everybody knows that Bonds is taking steroids, his rookie card price is going down. If I were you I would sell that until it goes down more. (witch it already has) I know this because the Bonds rookie is going down on every basebal card store, and it even made the news. The same thing goes for a Roger Clemens rookie.History is the Crystal BallThe value of an item is determined by a simple formula. Supply and Demand. When the supply, the number of items available on the market is higher than the number of collectors in the market to make a purchase the value goes down. When the number of items available on the market is lower than the number of collectors looking to make a purchase the demand is greater, and the value rises. For example: As it became evident that Barry Bonds was going to be a hall of fame player, and make a run at the all time home run record, the demand for his rookie card was on the rise. Collectors were buying up the cards as an investment in anticipation of the card going up in value. The same amount of cards were produced as other cards in the set (1986 Topps Traded) but the demand for this one cards was greater driving the price up.When the steroid scandal hit collectors holding this card flooded the market looking to make some money before the value would drop. As more cards became available on the market, and less collectors were looking to buy, the value dropped to where it is today.No one has a crystal ball to see into the future. The reason why we learn history in school, is to help us see into the future. Learn as much about the past, and it will help you determine what the value of the Barry Bonds rookie card will be worth in the future. As years go on, and more collectors enter the collectors market, will they want to invest in a Barry Bonds rookie card? The question of how future collectors will view Barry Bonds, the steroid scandal, and his place in baseball history. As when we were children, and touched something hot we learned from the past on how not to get burned.
