I pulled this card the other day.
I have been watching Ebay auctions and the pitching red refractor I saw (no auto just like mine) went for mid 400s. It was not graded.
Does the photo variation make mine more valuable? Does the 5/5 make the card worth more than 2 3 or 4/5?
Should I get it graded? It looks perfect to me but I'm always super paranoid theyll find some miniscule flaw and give it a 9.
What do you think about the long term value of the card? What would you do?
It's the biggest card by far I've ever pulled and I'm just curious for advice about what others would do.
Thanks!

Nice Pull &, yes, the Photo Variation should be worth a little more.
You might get better answers on the grading questions by posting front & back pics of the card.

Great pull! Agree that the photo variation should fetch more $. FWIW I don't think the fact that it's 5/5 will make any difference in value. Jersey #'s and #1s (in higher numbered parallels) are what most collectors are looking for.
Would love to see some pics as well!
Always looking for tougher PSA 10's of Nolan Arenado, Alex Bregman, Mookie Betts, Francisco Lindor, and Mike Trout.
There isnt a flaw on the card. Its a 10. I just get paranoid about smudges and even more paranoid about damaging the corners while cleaning the smudges.
That is a great looking pull, Congrats.

I would get this graded. You may want to also use a soft sleeve to avoid damaging the surface. Nice card !!
So what if it gets a 9. There are only 5 of them.
seeing that in a CS1 without a sleeve is tilting
Well done.
Awesome pull and congrats. Do not ever use chrome without a penny sleeve with card savers and use card saver 1's. It causes surface scratches.

Got it graded and am pumped!
Nice pull! I have been ripping quite a bit of Chrome and so far I haven't pulled any 5/5. The only 5/5 I have is the Kenley Jansen red wave I got for a steal on EBAY. It's numbered 1/5.

What did you pay for it?
Around $20. All the BINs I found at the time were going for around $50-60. A few auctions I saw go over $30. I figured $20 was a good price.
