The 1998 Flair Showcase Michael Irvin Row 1 #42 is a Football card (Row 1 parallel) released in 1998. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $3.59.

An ungraded copy is worth around $3.59, a PSA 9 around $25.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $110.73 and a pristine BGS 10 around $144.00. That's roughly a 31× 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 $3.59 and top grades reaching $110.73, 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.
