The 1998 Topps Jim Thome Diamondbacks Inaugural #290 is a Baseball card (Diamondbacks Inaugural parallel) released in 1998. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.58.
An ungraded copy is worth around $1.58, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $42.95 and a pristine BGS 10 around $56.00. That's roughly a 27× 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 ($1.58) and top-graded ($42.95) 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.
