2004 Leaf Certified Materials Eli Manning Materials Mirror Red #225 value & prices

The 2004 Leaf Certified Materials Eli Manning Materials Mirror Red #225 is a Football card (Materials Mirror Red parallel) released in 2004. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $30.00.

An ungraded copy is worth around $30.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $170.50 and a pristine BGS 10 around $222.00. That's roughly a 5.7× 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 $30.00 and top grades reaching $170.50, 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.
