The 1996 Metal Universe Frank Thomas #40 is a Baseball card released in 1996. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $5.98.
An ungraded copy is worth around $5.98, a PSA 9 around $56.40, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $177.80 and a pristine BGS 10 around $231.00. That's roughly a 30× 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 $5.98 and top grades reaching $177.80, 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.
