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.
History is building. At least two days of matching observations are needed to show a trend.
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
This 1981 Topps Clarence Williams card sits at the lower end of the price spectrum, consistent with base cards from role players of this era rather than marquee stars. The 1981 Topps football set is widely available, which keeps prices suppressed for most non-Hall of Fame subjects. Williams' limited career significance with the San Diego Chargers means this card does not command a premium relative to higher-profile teammates from the same set.
Rarity Breakdown
As a standard base card from the 1981 Topps football set, there is no serial numbering, parallel variant, or short print designation associated with this card. The set was produced in large quantities during a high-print era, meaning raw copies are plentiful and graded population numbers through PSA and BGS tend to reflect low submission interest for non-star cards. A high-grade example might stand out given the scarcity of graded submissions, but population reports for this specific card are unlikely to show significant graded copies in circulation.
Investment Outlook
Clarence Williams does not carry the Hall of Fame status or cultural cachet that typically drives long-term collector demand or sustained grading submission trends. With only a single active listing currently available, market liquidity is extremely thin, making price discovery difficult and resale challenging. Unless a broader 1981 Topps set-completion trend or regional collector interest emerges, this card is unlikely to see meaningful upward momentum in the near term.
