The 1996 Bowman's Best John Elway Refractor #115 is a Football card (Refractor parallel) released in 1996. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $19.99.
An ungraded copy is worth around $19.99, a PSA 9 around $21.79, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $120.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $156.00. That's roughly a 6.0× 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 $19.99 and top grades reaching $120.00, 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.
