The 2012 Bowman Chrome Max Scherzer Purple Refractor #164 is a Baseball card (Purple Refractor parallel) released in 2012. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $9.84.
An ungraded copy is worth around $9.84, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $28.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $36.00. The gem-mint premium is modest (about 2.8× raw), so condition matters here but doesn't completely define the price.
Is it worth grading?
The spread between raw ($9.84) and top-graded ($28.00) copies is fairly tight, so grading this card only makes financial sense for truly flawless copies — or for collectors who simply prefer slabbed cards for protection and display.
