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
This 1981 Topps Richard Caster card represents an entry-level tier within the broader NFL football market, reflecting the subject's role as a depth player rather than a franchise cornerstone. Without special parallels or inserts, the value is anchored by its status as a standard base card from a popular vintage set, trading at a modest premium over raw, ungraded examples of similar status. The single active listing indicates a thin market with limited immediate liquidity, typical for non-star players from this era.
Rarity Breakdown
The card carries no specific scarcity attributes such as serial numbering, short-print status, or parallel variations, meaning its supply is determined solely by the original base print run of the 1981 Topps set. As a standard issue, it lacks the artificial supply constraints that drive premiums in modern parallels or vintage one-of-ones. Consequently, availability is relatively high compared to special inserts, keeping the item accessible to casual collectors.
Investment Outlook
As a non-rookie card for a player who did not achieve Hall of Fame status or significant statistical prominence, the long-term appreciation potential is likely limited to modest gains driven by vintage nostalgia. The primary demand driver is the enduring popularity of the 1981 Topps brand among general football collectors seeking affordable vintage pieces. Investors should view this as a speculative, low-cost acquisition rather than a core holding with strong growth mechanics.
