$3.00 - $8.00
Graded Value
PSA 8: $10-15, PSA 9: $20-30, PSA 10: $55-75 (Note: Grading cost likely exceeds card value)

Similar /299 parallels from 2024-2025 Panini Prospect sets typically sell for $2-$7 for mid-tier prospects. Baker's name recognition adds a slight premium over common prospects, but market caps under $10 for raw copies.
