The 1970 Topps Walter Alston #242 is a Baseball card released in 1970. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.58.
An ungraded copy is worth around $1.58, a PSA 9 around $74.80, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $224.32 and a pristine BGS 10 around $292.00. That's roughly a 142× 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 $1.58 and top grades reaching $224.32, 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.
