The 1998 Topps Mystery Finest John Elway Refractor #M8 is a Football card (Refractor parallel) released in 1998. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $8.52.
An ungraded copy is worth around $8.52, a PSA 9 around $35.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $150.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $195.00. That's roughly a 18× 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 $8.52 and top grades reaching $150.00, 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.
