The 1971 Topps Jim Eakins #197 is a Basketball card released in 1971. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $2.34.
An ungraded copy is worth around $2.34, a PSA 9 around $312.91, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $347.05 and a pristine BGS 10 around $451.00. That's roughly a 148× 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 $2.34 and top grades reaching $347.05, 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.
