The 1961 Topps John Schaive #259 is a Baseball card released in 1961. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $2.42.
An ungraded copy is worth around $2.42, a PSA 9 around $67.27, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $408.56 and a pristine BGS 10 around $531.00. That's roughly a 169× 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 $2.42 and top grades reaching $408.56, 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.
