Konnor Griffin rookie card value 2026
What his 1st Bowman Chrome auto and 2026 Topps Chrome rookie auto sell for now, and how the market got here since his April debut.
Updated Oct 19, 2026 · first published Apr 3, 2026
Where the market is now
Griffin’s 1st Bowman Chrome autograph now sells for about $489 raw and $1,187 in a PSA 10, based on recent sales tracked by SportsCardsPro. Live eBay listings for the raw card ask around $800, and asking prices usually sit well above what cards actually sell for.
His 2026 Topps Chrome rookie autograph arrived in late July. Raw copies sell for about $249, roughly half the price of the 1st Bowman, and PSA 10s are close to the 1st Bowman’s PSA 10 price.
In April, before any of this, the raw 1st Bowman auto had an asking average of $1,154 across 198 listings. Those were asking prices during debut week, so they don’t compare directly with today’s sold prices, but the direction is clear: the debut premium has come out of the market as he settled in with a .728 OPS over 80 games.

Which card is which
His first Bowman Chrome autograph, from 2024 Bowman Draft. The hobby’s anchor card for a prospect and the one most collectors mean by “his auto”.
His official rookie-card autograph, released in July 2026 after his debut. Cheaper than the 1st Bowman for now, and the one new collectors often find first.
The April debut snapshot
This section is the original article from April 3, 2026, kept for the record. Prices in it are asking prices from that week.
Griffin made his MLB debut on April 2, 2026 with the Pittsburgh Pirates, the first teenage position player to debut since Juan Soto in 2018. He had played five games at Triple-A (7-for-16) before the call-up, and he signed a 9-year, $140 million extension before his first big-league game, the largest deal ever given to a player before his debut.
The only sold comps on record that week were a 2024 Bowman Draft 1st auto in PSA 9 for $699.99 and a 2025 Bowman Chrome Mega Box Blue auto /150 for $479.99, both on March 25, before the call-up was official.
