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
Russell Erxleben's 1981 Topps card sits at the very low end of the market spectrum, consistent with late-career kicker cards from this era that never developed a strong collector base. As a punter/kicker for the New Orleans Saints with a brief and largely unremarkable NFL tenure, this card does not command a premium relative to skill-position players from the same set. The broader 1981 Topps football set is widely available and modestly collected, meaning this card trades at or near the floor of the issue.
Rarity Breakdown
This is a standard base card from the 1981 Topps football set, with no serial numbering, parallel variants, or short-print designation, placing it among the most common configurations in the hobby. Population reports from major grading services show minimal submission history for this card, reflecting low collector demand rather than scarcity-driven interest. With only a single active listing currently available, the thin market is a product of disinterest rather than limited supply.
Investment Outlook
Erxleben's post-NFL notoriety stems largely from a high-profile financial fraud conviction, which adds an unusual biographical footnote but has not translated into sustained collector momentum or speculative buying. There is no Hall of Fame trajectory, no championship pedigree, and no rookie card premium to sustain long-term appreciation. Grading submission trends for this card are negligible, and without a catalyst such as a documentary, cultural moment, or renewed media attention, meaningful market movement in either direction is unlikely.
