The 2012 Topps Mariano Rivera Gold Sparkle #109 is a Baseball card (Gold Sparkle parallel) released in 2012. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $2.33.

An ungraded copy is worth around $2.33, a PSA 9 around $33.86, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $89.48 and a pristine BGS 10 around $116.00. That's roughly a 38× 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 $2.33 and top grades reaching $89.48, 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.
