The 1986 Topps Leonard Thompson #247 is a Football card released in 1986. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.27.

An ungraded copy is worth around $1.27, a PSA 9 around $33.50, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $113.90 and a pristine BGS 10 around $148.00. That's roughly a 90× 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 $1.27 and top grades reaching $113.90, 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.
