The 1998 Leaf Rookies & Stars Hines Ward True Blue #202 is a Football card (True Blue parallel) released in 1998. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $7.50.

An ungraded copy is worth around $7.50, a PSA 9 around $27.83, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $109.18 and a pristine BGS 10 around $142.00. That's roughly a 15× 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 $7.50 and top grades reaching $109.18, 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.
