The 1997 Topps Hobby Masters Frank Thomas #HM11 is a Baseball card released in 1997. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $7.50.

An ungraded copy is worth around $7.50, a PSA 9 around $47.50, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $144.99 and a pristine BGS 10 around $188.00. That's roughly a 19× 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 $7.50 and top grades reaching $144.99, 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.
