Persian #53 value & price
Reviewed by Mumbles · Updated 8 Aug 2026Related Persian & chase cards
Tap to open
Persian #53 comes from the 1999 Topps TV set, a 2023 release that leaned into that late 90s nostalgia collectors can't seem to shake. Illustrated by Naoki Saito, it's an uncommon card, not flashy, not a chase card, but the kind of card people quietly want anyway. If you're trying to pin down Persian value, the short answer is that it lives in that budget-friendly range where most collectors keep a few on hand just because they like the set.

The collector's take on Persian
Is Persian worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw Persian sits at $2, while a PSA 10 climbs to $36, which works out to about 18.1x the raw price. That's a real jump, no question, but it comes with a catch. Hitting a true gem mint 10 isn't guaranteed, corners, centering, and print quality all have to line up, and grading fees plus shipping and waiting time eat into any profit fast on a card this inexpensive. A Grade 9 lands at $21, which is a nice middle ground if your copy is close but not flawless. For a card like this, grading makes more sense if you already love it and want it protected, rather than as a way to flip for profit.
How rare is Persian?
As an uncommon card from a modern reprint style set, Persian isn't scarce in the way an old-school holo chase card might be. There's no population data here suggesting it's a needle in a haystack, so its value really comes down to condition and demand rather than raw scarcity. That's actually good news for casual collectors: you're not fighting a tiny print run, you're mostly just deciding how nice a copy you want to own.
Where can you pull Persian?
PackSpy has tracked Persian being pulled 2 times across the sites we monitor, including through lastpack, and we've seen it turn up in challenger packs specifically. The biggest recorded pull tied to this card hit $50, which is a fun reminder that pack value isn't only about the card itself, sometimes it's the luck of the whole rip. If you're chasing Persian specifically, know that it shows up in the packs we track rather than being something you'll only find on the secondary market, though buying one outright raw or graded is always the more predictable route if you just want the card in hand.
Questions people ask
How much is Persian worth?+
A raw, ungraded Persian #53 is valued at $2. It's an accessible card from the 1999 Topps TV set, so most collectors pick it up without much fuss.
Is Persian worth grading?+
It depends on your goals. Grading can take it from $2 raw to $21 at Grade 9 or $36 at PSA 10, but grading fees and the difficulty of pulling a true gem mint copy mean it's more of a passion project than a guaranteed profit play.
How much is a PSA 10 Persian worth?+
A PSA 10 Persian is worth $36, which is 18.1 times the raw card's value. That gap shows just how much condition matters, even on a card that isn't considered rare.
