The 1996 Topps Finest Derrick Thomas #259 is a Football card released in 1996. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $5.00.
An ungraded copy is worth around $5.00, a PSA 9 around $34.24, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $56.62 and a pristine BGS 10 around $74.00. That's roughly a 11× 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 $5.00 and top grades reaching $56.62, 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.
