1986 Donruss Highlights Roger Clemens #17 value & prices

The 1986 Donruss Highlights Roger Clemens #17 is a Baseball card released in 1986. In ungraded condition it carries an estimated value of about $0.99, with professionally graded copies commanding more.

Condition is everything here — an ungraded copy is worth around $0.99, a PSA 9 around $11.99, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $26.20 and a pristine BGS 10 around $34.00. That's roughly a 26× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.

Collector's notes

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 card collecting runs deep — set builders, player collectors, and investors all compete for the same key cards.

Is it worth grading?

The spread between raw ($0.99) and top-graded ($26.20) 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.

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.
