The 1980 Topps Sidney Thornton #297 is a Football card released in 1980. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.35.
An ungraded copy is worth around $1.35, a PSA 9 around $25.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $140.39 and a pristine BGS 10 around $183.00. That's roughly a 104× 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 $1.35 and top grades reaching $140.39, 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.
