The 1986 Topps Mark Clayton #49 is a Football card released in 1986. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.38.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $1.38 and top grades reaching $132.27, 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.
