The 2005 Bowman Chrome David Ortiz Refractor #78 is a Baseball card (Refractor parallel) released in 2005. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $13.25.
An ungraded copy is worth around $13.25, a PSA 9 around $26.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $191.86 and a pristine BGS 10 around $249.00. That's roughly a 14× 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 $13.25 and top grades reaching $191.86, 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.
