2005 Topps Chrome Robert Whaley Blue Xfractor #173 value & prices

The 2005 Topps Chrome Robert Whaley Blue Xfractor #173 is a Basketball card (Blue Xfractor parallel) released in 2006. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $4.21.

An ungraded copy is worth around $4.21, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $10.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $13.00. The gem-mint premium is modest (about 2.4× raw), so condition matters here but doesn't completely define the price.

Is it worth grading?

The spread between raw ($4.21) and top-graded ($10.00) 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.
