The 1997 Topps Finest Emmitt Smith Embossed #290 is a Football card (Embossed parallel) released in 1997. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $21.35.
An ungraded copy is worth around $21.35, a PSA 9 around $186.57, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $224.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $291.00. That's roughly a 10× 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 $21.35 and top grades reaching $224.00, 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.
