1989 Upper Deck Mickey Brantley #550 value & prices

The 1989 Upper Deck Mickey Brantley #550 is a Baseball card released in 1989. In ungraded condition it carries an estimated value of about $3.71, with professionally graded copies commanding more.

Grading has a major impact on value: an ungraded copy is worth around $3.71, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $5.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $7.00. The gem-mint premium is modest (about 1.3× raw), so condition matters here but doesn't completely define the price.

About this card's market

Cards from this era were printed in enormous quantities during the hobby's boom years, so raw copies are plentiful — but strict grading separates the true gems from the masses, and top grades remain hard to pull off.

Baseball card collecting runs deep — set builders, player collectors, and investors all compete for the same key cards.

Is it worth grading?

The spread between raw ($3.71) and top-graded ($5.00) 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.

PSA remains the most liquid grading label in the hobby, while BGS (with its Black Label 10) and modern entrants CGC and SGC have growing followings — the table above shows how each label prices for this card.
