2022 Panini Contenders Optic Base Set James Cook Rookie Ticket Autograph Gold #123 value & prices

The 2022 Panini Contenders Optic Base Set James Cook Rookie Ticket Autograph Gold #123 is a Football card (Rookie Ticket Autograph Gold parallel) released in 2022. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $307.50.

An ungraded copy is worth around $307.50, a PSA 9 around $425.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $510.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $663.00. The gem-mint premium is modest (about 1.7× raw), so condition matters here but doesn't completely define the price.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $307.50 and top grades reaching $510.00, 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.
