2009 Topps Alex Rodriguez Black Border #1 value & prices

The 2009 Topps Alex Rodriguez Black Border #1 is a Baseball card (Black Border parallel) released in 2009. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $2.49.

An ungraded copy is worth around $2.49, a PSA 9 around $14.13, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $45.33 and a pristine BGS 10 around $59.00. 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?

The spread between raw ($2.49) and top-graded ($45.33) copies is fairly tight, so grading this card only makes financial sense for truly flawless copies — or for collectors who simply prefer slabbed cards for protection and display.
