The 1997 Topps Finest Jerome Bettis w/ Coating #80 is a Football card (w/ Coating parallel) released in 1997. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.86.

An ungraded copy is worth around $1.86, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $79.99 and a pristine BGS 10 around $104.00. That's roughly a 43× 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 $1.86 and top grades reaching $79.99, 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.
