The 1981 Topps Derek Smith East #79 is a Hockey card (East parallel) released in 1981. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $0.97.
An ungraded copy is worth around $0.97, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $33.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $43.00. That's roughly a 34× 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?
The spread between raw ($0.97) and top-graded ($33.00) copies is fairly tight, so grading this card only makes financial sense for truly flawless copies — or for collectors who simply prefer slabbed cards for protection and display.
