The 1998 Bowman's Best Mark McGwire Refractor #1 is a Baseball card (Refractor parallel) released in 1998. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $86.18.
An ungraded copy is worth around $86.18, a PSA 9 around $59.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $250.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $325.00. The gem-mint premium is modest (about 2.9× raw), so condition matters here but doesn't completely define the price.
Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $86.18 and top grades reaching $250.00, 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.
