The 1992 Ultra John Vander Wal #523 is a Baseball card released in 1992. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.88.

An ungraded copy is worth around $1.88, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $129.99 and a pristine BGS 10 around $169.00. That's roughly a 69× 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 $1.88 and top grades reaching $129.99, 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.
