The 1997 Donruss Preferred John Elway #142 is a Football card released in 1997. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $2.50.
An ungraded copy is worth around $2.50, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $22.99 and a pristine BGS 10 around $30.00. That's roughly a 9.2× 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 ($2.50) and top-graded ($22.99) 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.
