2005 Topps Chrome Troy Glaus Black Refractor #381 value & prices

The 2005 Topps Chrome Troy Glaus Black Refractor #381 is a Baseball card (Black Refractor parallel) released in 2005. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $3.69.

An ungraded copy is worth around $3.69, a PSA 9 around $18.50, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $69.54 and a pristine BGS 10 around $90.00. That's roughly a 19× 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 $3.69 and top grades reaching $69.54, 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.
