The 2006 Topps Chrome Chris Carpenter Black Refractor #183 is a Baseball card (Black Refractor parallel) released in 2006. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $6.65.
An ungraded copy is worth around $6.65, a PSA 9 around $27.20, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $106.32 and a pristine BGS 10 around $138.00. That's roughly a 16× 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 $6.65 and top grades reaching $106.32, 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.
