The 1955 Topps Mel Parnell #140 is a Baseball card released in 1955. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $4.60.

An ungraded copy is worth around $4.60, a PSA 9 around $201.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $960.10, a pristine BGS 10 around $1 and248.00. That's roughly a 209× 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 $4.60 and top grades reaching $960.10, 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.
