The 1981 O-Pee-Chee Derek Smith #25 is a Hockey card released in 1981. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.31.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $1.31 and top grades reaching $59.99, 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.
