2006 Topps Chrome Tyrus Thomas Variation Refractor #189 value & prices

The 2006 Topps Chrome Tyrus Thomas Variation Refractor #189 is a Basketball card (Variation Refractor parallel) released in 2006. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $2.54.

An ungraded copy is worth around $2.54, a PSA 9 around $26.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $31.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $40.00. 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?

The spread between raw ($2.54) and top-graded ($31.00) 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.
