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 1987 Topps Rick Dempsey card trades at a modest entry-level price point, reflecting its status as a standard base card from a major production run. While it lacks the premium associated with rookie issues or high-grade specimens, it remains an accessible option for collectors seeking affordable team history. The current market positioning suggests it is widely available, keeping its value stable but limited in appreciation potential compared to scarcer parallel versions.
Rarity Breakdown
As a standard base card from the 1987 Topps set, this item carries no special scarcity mechanics such as serial numbering, short-print status, or unique one-of-one designation. Its supply is determined by the massive print run typical of mass-market baseball cards from this era, making it common in both raw and graded conditions. Consequently, it does not benefit from the supply constraints that drive premium pricing in limited-edition releases.
Investment Outlook
The investment outlook for this card is neutral, as it represents a common entry in the broader vintage baseball market without distinctive collector demand drivers. While it holds historical value as a Baltimore Orioles piece from the late 1980s, it lacks the rookie-card premium or parallel variety that typically fuels significant market growth. Collectors should view this as a low-risk acquisition for completing base sets rather than a high-growth asset.
