The 2005 Donruss Studio Stars Albert Pujols #S-42 is a Baseball card released in 2005. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $4.25.

An ungraded copy is worth around $4.25, a PSA 9 around $16.50, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $75.85 and a pristine BGS 10 around $99.00. That's roughly a 18× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $4.25 and top grades reaching $75.85, grading a sharp copy of this card can clearly pay for itself — the spread comfortably covers a typical ~$25.00 grading fee. The catch: only submit copies with strong centering, clean corners, and unmarked surfaces, because anything below a 9 usually erases the math.
