2006 Topps Chrome Ryan Zimmerman Black Refractor #284 value & prices

The 2006 Topps Chrome Ryan Zimmerman Black Refractor #284 is a Baseball card (Black Refractor parallel) released in 2006. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $35.00.

An ungraded copy is worth around $35.00, a PSA 9 around $41.50, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $420.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $546.00. That's roughly a 12× 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 $35.00 and top grades reaching $420.00, 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.
