The 2025 Topps Chrome Platinum Base Set Tim Elko Red Lava #243 is a Baseball card (Red Lava parallel) released in 2025. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $75.00.
An ungraded copy is worth around $75.00, a PSA 9 around $127.75, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $369.37 and a pristine BGS 10 around $480.00. That's roughly a 4.9× 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 $75.00 and top grades reaching $369.37, 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.
