1981 Topps John Drew #1 value & prices

The 1981 Topps John Drew #1 is a Basketball card released in 1981. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.74.

An ungraded copy is worth around $1.74, a PSA 9 around $20.87, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $278.12 and a pristine BGS 10 around $362.00. That's roughly a 160× 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 $1.74 and top grades reaching $278.12, 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.
