About this card's market
The junk-wax era means supply is high, but that cuts both ways: raw copies are affordable entry points, while flawless graded examples stand out precisely because so many copies exist in lesser condition.
Baseball remains the hobby's most tradition-rich category, where rookie cards, flagship Topps issues, and low-population grades anchor long-term demand.
Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $1.38 and top grades reaching $57.42, 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.
When choosing a grader, PSA slabs typically resell fastest, BGS rewards truly pristine copies, and SGC/CGC offer faster turnarounds — compare each label's value in the grade table above.
Smart buying guide
Before buying a Roger Clemens #172, compare several live listings — prices for the same card can vary widely depending on condition, seller reputation, and whether an auction is ending soon. The live eBay listings above update throughout the day.
Selling? List smart: photograph corners and surface clearly, state the condition honestly, and price against the grade table above. Or scan it into your Ripbin locker and let bids come to you.
