The 1997 Topps Finest Emmitt Smith Refractor w/ Coating #290 is a Football card (Refractor w/ Coating parallel) released in 1997. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $42.65.
An ungraded copy is worth around $42.65, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $173.53 and a pristine BGS 10 around $226.00. That's roughly a 4.1× 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 $42.65 and top grades reaching $173.53, 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.
