1999 Topps Tony Gonzalez #242 value & prices

The 1999 Topps Tony Gonzalez #242 is a Football card released in 1999. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.02.

An ungraded copy is worth around $1.02, a PSA 9 around $15.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $51.70 and a pristine BGS 10 around $67.00. That's roughly a 51× 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 $1.02 and top grades reaching $51.70, 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.
