2025-26 Topps Chrome Sapphire Base Set Dirk Nowitzki Purple #246 value & prices

The 2025-26 Topps Chrome Sapphire Base Set Dirk Nowitzki Purple #246 is a Basketball card (Purple parallel) released in 2026. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $25.00.

An ungraded copy is worth around $25.00, a PSA 9 around $40.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $135.31 and a pristine BGS 10 around $176.00. That's roughly a 5.4× 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 $25.00 and top grades reaching $135.31, 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.
