The 2005 Donruss Mariano Rivera Press Proof Gold #279 is a Baseball card (Press Proof Gold parallel) released in 2005. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $12.50.
An ungraded copy is worth around $12.50, a PSA 9 around $38.93, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $164.87 and a pristine BGS 10 around $214.00. That's roughly a 13× 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 $12.50 and top grades reaching $164.87, 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.
