2018 Topps High Tek Base Set Alex Verdugo Orbit Diffractor Black #HT-AV value & prices

The 2018 Topps High Tek Base Set Alex Verdugo Orbit Diffractor Black #HT-AV is a Baseball card (Orbit Diffractor Black parallel) released in 2018. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $3.00.

An ungraded copy is worth around $3.00, a PSA 9 around $6.50, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $55.99 and a pristine BGS 10 around $73.00. That's roughly a 19× 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 $3.00 and top grades reaching $55.99, 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.
