2005 SP Authentic Chris Thorburn Autograph #290 value & prices

The 2005 SP Authentic Chris Thorburn Autograph #290 is a Hockey card (Autograph parallel) released in 2005. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $7.52.

An ungraded copy is worth around $7.52, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $125.50 and a pristine BGS 10 around $163.00. That's roughly a 17× 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 $7.52 and top grades reaching $125.50, 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.
