The 2009 Topps Finest LaDainian Tomlinson Gold Refractor #18 is a Football card (Gold Refractor parallel) released in 2009. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $154.76.

An ungraded copy is worth around $154.76, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $255.22 and a pristine BGS 10 around $332.00. The gem-mint premium is modest (about 1.6× raw), so condition matters here but doesn't completely define the price.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $154.76 and top grades reaching $255.22, 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.
