The 1981 Topps Eddie Payton #304 is a Football card released in 1981. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.32.
An ungraded copy is worth around $1.32, a PSA 9 around $16.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $59.99 and a pristine BGS 10 around $78.00. That's roughly a 45× 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 $1.32 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.
