The 2022 Panini Contenders Optic Base Set Kenneth Walker III Black Pulsar #83 is a Football card (Black Pulsar parallel) released in 2022. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $42.38.

An ungraded copy is worth around $42.38, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $200.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $260.00. That's roughly a 4.7× 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 $42.38 and top grades reaching $200.00, 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.
