The 1982 Topps Bill Thompson #88 is a Football card released in 1982. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.59.

An ungraded copy is worth around $1.59, a PSA 9 around $19.99, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $148.59 and a pristine BGS 10 around $193.00. That's roughly a 93× 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 $1.59 and top grades reaching $148.59, 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.
