The 1998 Topps Gold Label Derrick Thomas Class 3 Black #18 is a Football card (Class 3 Black parallel) released in 1998. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $7.05.
An ungraded copy is worth around $7.05, a PSA 9 around $38.98, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $194.78 and a pristine BGS 10 around $253.00. That's roughly a 28× 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 $7.05 and top grades reaching $194.78, 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.
