2002 Topps Chrome Jason Isringhausen Black Refractor #189 value & prices

The 2002 Topps Chrome Jason Isringhausen Black Refractor #189 is a Baseball card (Black Refractor parallel) released in 2002. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $10.00.

An ungraded copy is worth around $10.00, a PSA 9 around $40.11, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $186.56 and a pristine BGS 10 around $243.00. 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 $10.00 and top grades reaching $186.56, 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.
