Collector's notes

This card comes from the modern era, where print runs tightened and parallels became the chase. Base versions are accessible, while graded gems and rare parallels carry the premium.

Football card values track quarterback play and breakout seasons closely — key rookies and star players see the most action.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $12.57 and top grades reaching $298.69, 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.

When choosing a grader, PSA slabs typically resell fastest, BGS rewards truly pristine copies, and SGC/CGC offer faster turnarounds — compare each label's value in the grade table above.
