The 2013 Bowman Chrome Jon Lester Gold Refractor #42 is a Baseball card (Gold Refractor parallel) released in 2013. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $16.23.
An ungraded copy is worth around $16.23, a PSA 9 around $28.69, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $70.06 and a pristine BGS 10 around $91.00. That's roughly a 4.3× 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 $16.23 and top grades reaching $70.06, 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.
