Opinions Please Topps Pristine Jackson Chourio Auto /99

[ozzie1114]

Have a 50/99 Topps Pristine Auto; PA-JCH of Jackson Chourio. Would like opinions of selling it. As is, in the factory encapsulation or open it and send it to PSA hoping for a 9 or 10 grade. Trying to understand what the difference in value would be as I can find no PSA history on this card.
Thanks in advance for the help and I am new to the forum so please relocate if I posted in the wrong spot.

If you are looking to sell it, I would consider just selling it as it is. If you send it for grading, you have to spend the $$ and wait for how long? A couple months? By then the season is over and the values drop. Also, if you get a 9 it is probably worth the same as raw. If you get lower than a 9, you lost value.

These have sold recently for $164, $284, and $237. This will likely only go down in the offseason. So if you are looking to grade and sell, I would wait until next season.

My best guess as to why you aren't seeing any graded copies of this is because Pristine has only been out for a little over two weeks now. I am not sure this card is worth the cost of expedited grading, so you may not see any PSA graded copies for another month or so.

I agree. Sell it as is. The only way you would get more money is if grades a gem mint 10. I looked at some other Topps autos of his numbered to 25 and it really doesn't go up in value that much when graded a 9. Very nice card. Good luck with selling it.
