The 1973 Topps ABA Checklist #242 is a Basketball card released in 1973. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $3.99.
An ungraded copy is worth around $3.99, a PSA 9 around $78.46, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $480.29 and a pristine BGS 10 around $624.00. That's roughly a 120× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.
Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $3.99 and top grades reaching $480.29, grading a sharp copy of this card can clearly pay for itself — the spread comfortably covers a typical ~$25.00 grading fee. The catch: only submit copies with strong centering, clean corners, and unmarked surfaces, because anything below a 9 usually erases the math.
