The 1997 Bowman's Best Bruce Smith Atomic Refractor #86 is a Football card (Atomic Refractor parallel) released in 1997. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $7.49.
An ungraded copy is worth around $7.49, a PSA 9 around $88.72, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $189.67 and a pristine BGS 10 around $247.00. That's roughly a 25× 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 $7.49 and top grades reaching $189.67, 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.
