Market context

As a recent release, this card's market is still finding its level — prices move with the player's performance, grading population growth, and overall hobby demand.

Baseball remains the hobby's most tradition-rich category, where rookie cards, flagship Topps issues, and low-population grades anchor long-term demand.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $35.00 and top grades reaching $92.00, 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.

When choosing a grader, PSA slabs typically resell fastest, BGS rewards truly pristine copies, and SGC/CGC offer faster turnarounds — compare each label's value in the grade table above.
