Population suggests a real shot at a grade that clears raw plus fees. Liquidity also concentrates in holders at this level.
Grade yield
46% chance of PSA 9+. Net potential upside: +$322 after grading costs. Worth submitting.
PSA regular · $50 fee · $15 ship · $19 insurance · about 45 days. Shifted by this photo's 7.5 and 3,640 graded copies. Not a PSA yield.
Raw $1,600 · PSA 10 $9,800 · PSA 9 $1,400 · PSA 8 no book
- PSA 108% · pop 420+$6,841 after fee
- PSA 939% · pop 2,100-$450 after fee
- PSA 811%
Net is the slab price minus a 13% take, ship pad, a $50 fee, and raw. A 10 is not the likely outcome of a 9 photo.

Liquidity 65
46% chance of PSA 9+. Net potential upside: +$322 after grading costs. Worth submitting. Football is in season. A crowded list usually gets hit before the quiet months. One census snapshot — not a live pop velocity.
Trust shield
Check these tells
A phone photo cannot measure font kerning or a rosette against a reference set. These are the known tells for this issue.
- True Prizm silver refracts under a moving light — flat gray is a counterfeit
- Chrome stock has a specific snap; paper-backed 'chrome' is fake

Authenticity
Likely authentic
Visual review, not a cert.
Census match on a well-documented issue. Still verify holograms, stamps, and stock in hand — photos miss texture.
- Print and type match known copies of this issue
- Stock and finish consistent with the set
- Bowman Chrome, not the Contenders auto. Confirm chrome stock and 2000 Bowman Chrome numbering. Paper Bowman is a different card.

Tells
How fakes fail
Ink, patch construction, and serial stamps must agree.
- On-card autos have ink soak; sticker autos sit on top
- Serial numbering stamp weight and placement are copied poorly
- Patch layers should match the known player/set construction
- Championship Ticket vs Rookie Ticket is a different card — check the gold parallel
On this issue: Bowman Chrome, not the Contenders auto. Confirm chrome stock and 2000 Bowman Chrome numbering. Paper Bowman is a different card.
Centering & surface
Meter L/R and T/B from this photo, then loupe the print. A hint at what PSA, BGS, or SGC might say — not a cert.

Lot notes
The chrome RC most people mean after the Contenders. Refractors are another book.
