2009 Topps Heritage Chrome Mariano Rivera Black Border Refractor #C24 value & prices

The 2009 Topps Heritage Chrome Mariano Rivera Black Border Refractor #C24 is a Baseball card (Black Border Refractor parallel) released in 2009. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $135.00.

An ungraded copy is worth around $135.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $500.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $650.00. That's roughly a 3.7× 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 $135.00 and top grades reaching $500.00, 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.
