The 2022 Donruss Optic Base Set Walter Payton Wave #38 is a Football card (Wave parallel) released in 2022. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $13.37.
An ungraded copy is worth around $13.37, a PSA 9 around $45.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $112.50 and a pristine BGS 10 around $146.00. That's roughly a 8.4× 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 $13.37 and top grades reaching $112.50, 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.
