The 2002 Upper Deck The People's Choice Mariano Rivera #PJ-MRI is a Baseball card released in 2002. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $9.50.

An ungraded copy is worth around $9.50, a PSA 9 around $33.60, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $152.69 and a pristine BGS 10 around $199.00. That's roughly a 16× 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 $9.50 and top grades reaching $152.69, 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.
