2009 Topps Tim Lincecum Gold #78 value & prices

The 2009 Topps Tim Lincecum Gold #78 is a Baseball card (Gold parallel) released in 2009. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $5.89.

An ungraded copy is worth around $5.89, a PSA 9 around $21.41, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $72.36 and a pristine BGS 10 around $94.00. 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 $5.89 and top grades reaching $72.36, 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.
