The 2016 Topps Update Bryce Harper Vertical Rainbow Foil #US297a is a Baseball card (Vertical Rainbow Foil parallel) released in 2016. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $2.76.

An ungraded copy is worth around $2.76, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $100.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $130.00. That's roughly a 36× 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 $2.76 and top grades reaching $100.00, 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.
