The 1981 Topps J.T. Smith #86 is a Football card released in 1981. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $0.70.
An ungraded copy is worth around $0.70, a PSA 9 around $25.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $35.61 and a pristine BGS 10 around $46.00. That's roughly a 51× 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?
The spread between raw ($0.70) and top-graded ($35.61) copies is fairly tight, so grading this card only makes financial sense for truly flawless copies — or for collectors who simply prefer slabbed cards for protection and display.
