Below grade 10 the guide publishes one estimate across all graders, so these rows are not PSA, BGS, CGC or SGC prices, and a low slabbed grade can sit below a clean raw copy. Grade 10 is estimated per grader.
Each point is the last stored observation that day for this printing, condition, grader, autograph status and source. Gaps mean no observation; guide estimates and asking prices are not completed sales.

SuperCatch Expert Analysis
Market Value Insight
As a 1981 Topps base card of Bob Thomas, this item sits at the entry-level tier of NFL football collectibles, reflecting its status as a common base parallel rather than a premium insert. The current market positioning indicates a modest valuation consistent with older, non-rookie base cards of players without Hall of Fame status. Condition sensitivity is likely low given the era and print run, keeping it accessible for casual collectors.
Rarity Breakdown
This card lacks any special scarcity attributes such as serial numbering, short-print designations, or limited edition parallels, placing it firmly within the standard base set. The absence of unique identifiers means supply is determined by the original mass production of the 1981 Topps Football set. Consequently, it does not benefit from the supply constraints that drive premiums in more specialized parallel sets.
Investment Outlook
Investment potential is limited as the card is neither a rookie issue nor a high-demand parallel, lacking the scarcity mechanics that typically drive long-term appreciation. Collector interest is primarily driven by nostalgia for the Chicago Bears of that era rather than individual player legacy or card rarity. It serves best as an affordable addition to a team set or a starting point for a broader NFL collection.
