The 2002 Topps Traded Jake Mauer #T252 is a Baseball card released in 2002. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $2.20.

An ungraded copy is worth around $2.20, a PSA 9 around $9.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $64.31 and a pristine BGS 10 around $84.00. That's roughly a 29× 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 $2.20 and top grades reaching $64.31, 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.
