The 2018 Topps Chrome Base Set Max Scherzer Blue Wave Refractor #145 is a Baseball card (Blue Wave Refractor parallel) released in 2018. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $9.77.
An ungraded copy is worth around $9.77, a PSA 9 around $21.50, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $84.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $109.00. That's roughly a 8.6× 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 $9.77 and top grades reaching $84.00, 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.
