The 1998 Leaf Rookies & Stars John Elway #249 is a Football card released in 1998. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $2.49.
An ungraded copy is worth around $2.49, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $99.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $129.00. That's roughly a 40× 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 $2.49 and top grades reaching $99.00, 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.
