The 1981 Topps Carl Roaches #198 is a Football card released in 1981. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $0.45.
An ungraded copy is worth around $0.45, a PSA 9 around $19.99, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $63.04 and a pristine BGS 10 around $82.00. That's roughly a 140× 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 $0.45 and top grades reaching $63.04, 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.
