The 1999 Bowman's Best Jim Thome Atomic Refractor #18 is a Baseball card (Atomic Refractor parallel) released in 1999. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $52.32.
An ungraded copy is worth around $52.32, a PSA 9 around $154.11, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $238.75 and a pristine BGS 10 around $310.00. That's roughly a 4.6× 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 $52.32 and top grades reaching $238.75, 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.
