The 1996 Metal Universe Ozzie Smith Platinum Edition #229 is a Baseball card (Platinum Edition parallel) released in 1996. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $5.29.
An ungraded copy is worth around $5.29, a PSA 9 around $94.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $390.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $507.00. That's roughly a 74× 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 $5.29 and top grades reaching $390.00, 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.
