1981 Topps Kent Nilsson #48 value & prices

The 1981 Topps Kent Nilsson #48 is a Hockey card released in 1981. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.76.

An ungraded copy is worth around $1.76, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $17.70 and a pristine BGS 10 around $23.00. That's roughly a 10× 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?

The spread between raw ($1.76) and top-graded ($17.70) copies is fairly tight, so grading this card only makes financial sense for truly flawless copies — or for collectors who simply prefer slabbed cards for protection and display.
