The 1971 Topps Lefty Phillips #279 is a Baseball card released in 1971. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.92.
An ungraded copy is worth around $1.92, a PSA 9 around $298.03, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $358.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $465.00. That's roughly a 186× 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 $1.92 and top grades reaching $358.00, 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.
