The 1961 Topps Bill Short #252 is a Baseball card released in 1961. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.52.
An ungraded copy is worth around $1.52, a PSA 9 around $375.50, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $451.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $586.00. That's roughly a 297× 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 $1.52 and top grades reaching $451.00, 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.
