The 2012 Bowman Chrome Mike Trout Purple Refractor #157 is a Baseball card (Purple Refractor parallel) released in 2012. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $72.39.
An ungraded copy is worth around $72.39, a PSA 9 around $144.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $435.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $566.00. That's roughly a 6.0× 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 $72.39 and top grades reaching $435.00, 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.
