The 1999 Sports Illustrated Greats of the Game Autographs Vida Blue is a Baseball card released in 1999. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $13.10.

An ungraded copy is worth around $13.10, a PSA 9 around $60.48, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $311.78 and a pristine BGS 10 around $405.00. That's roughly a 24× 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 $13.10 and top grades reaching $311.78, 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.
