The 1998 Be a Player Bob Carpenter Autograph #228 is a Hockey card (Autograph parallel) released in 1998. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $2.70.
An ungraded copy is worth around $2.70, a PSA 9 around $21.22, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $93.74 and a pristine BGS 10 around $122.00. That's roughly a 35× 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 $2.70 and top grades reaching $93.74, 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.
