1996 Collector's Choice Base Set Ozzie Smith Silver Signature #280 value & prices

The 1996 Collector's Choice Base Set Ozzie Smith Silver Signature #280 is a Baseball card (Silver Signature parallel) released in 1996. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $2.13.

An ungraded copy is worth around $2.13, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $45.20 and a pristine BGS 10 around $59.00. That's roughly a 21× 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?

The spread between raw ($2.13) and top-graded ($45.20) 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.
