2023 Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition Base Set Bubba Thompson Red #597 value & prices

The 2023 Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition Base Set Bubba Thompson Red #597 is a Baseball card (Red parallel) released in 2023. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $50.00.

An ungraded copy is worth around $50.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $214.50 and a pristine BGS 10 around $279.00. That's roughly a 4.3× 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 $50.00 and top grades reaching $214.50, 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.
