The 1971 Topps Wally Jones #42 is a Basketball card released in 1971. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $3.74.
An ungraded copy is worth around $3.74, a PSA 9 around $159.99, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $210.93 and a pristine BGS 10 around $274.00. That's roughly a 56× 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 $3.74 and top grades reaching $210.93, 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.
