The 1986 Topps Steve Nelson #40 is a Football card released in 1986. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.65.
An ungraded copy is worth around $1.65, a PSA 9 around $24.90, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $439.99 and a pristine BGS 10 around $572.00. That's roughly a 267× 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 $1.65 and top grades reaching $439.99, 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.
