Recent Sales
Recent sales on eBay for 2023 Topps Chrome Solar Flare rookies range between $4 and $15 depending on the player. Thompson's Solar Flare variant has stabilized in the $8 range for raw copies.
Condition Details
The card is inside a top-loader; centering appears well-balanced. No visible corner dings or white edges are apparent through the plastic, though surface inspection is limited by the sleeve reflection.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if looking for a PSA 10. Given the low raw value versus grading costs (~$19+), grading is only recommended for high-end personal collections or if bulk submission rates apply.
