2002 Upper Deck Julius Peppers #231 value & prices

The 2002 Upper Deck Julius Peppers #231 is a Football card released in 2002. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $5.00.

An ungraded copy is worth around $5.00, a PSA 9 around $39.45, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $152.50 and a pristine BGS 10 around $198.00. That's roughly a 31× 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 $5.00 and top grades reaching $152.50, 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.
