1981 Topps Nate Archibald #3 value & prices

The 1981 Topps Nate Archibald #3 is a Basketball card released in 1981. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.99.

An ungraded copy is worth around $1.99, a PSA 9 around $34.95, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $225.75 and a pristine BGS 10 around $293.00. That's roughly a 113× 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 $1.99 and top grades reaching $225.75, 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.
