The 1996 Bowman's Best Frank Thomas Refractor #13 is a Baseball card (Refractor parallel) released in 1996. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $20.00.
An ungraded copy is worth around $20.00, a PSA 9 around $85.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $150.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $195.00. That's roughly a 7.5× 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 $20.00 and top grades reaching $150.00, 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.
