The 1998 Topps Jim Thome Devil Rays Inaugural #290 is a Baseball card (Devil Rays Inaugural parallel) released in 1998. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $2.25.
An ungraded copy is worth around $2.25, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $33.91 and a pristine BGS 10 around $44.00. That's roughly a 15× 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?
The spread between raw ($2.25) and top-graded ($33.91) copies is fairly tight, so grading this card only makes financial sense for truly flawless copies — or for collectors who simply prefer slabbed cards for protection and display.
