The 2006 Topps Chrome Steve Smith Black Refractor #83 is a Football card (Black Refractor parallel) released in 2006. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $28.00.

An ungraded copy is worth around $28.00, a PSA 9 around $57.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $176.52 and a pristine BGS 10 around $229.00. That's roughly a 6.3× 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 $28.00 and top grades reaching $176.52, 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.
