1987 Topps Maurice Carthon #12 value & prices

The 1987 Topps Maurice Carthon #12 is a Football card released in 1987. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $0.92.

An ungraded copy is worth around $0.92, a PSA 9 around $23.99, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $52.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $68.00. That's roughly a 57× 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 $0.92 and top grades reaching $52.00, 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.
