Variant Breakdown & Pricing Averages
Separating sales over the last 30 days into isolated print runs exposes a highly stable raw market with clear value tiers:
1. The Base Card Tier (Raw Only)
The standard, unnumbered portrait insert serves as the primary volume driver for this profile, showing a very affordable baseline heavily dictated by open-bidding auction formats.
- Variant Average Price: $3.89
- Price Range: $0.99 – $12.50
- Market Trend: Core raw auction lots typically settle between $1.25 and $3.25. However, higher active engagement can occasionally spike a raw base auction up to $10.50 or $12.50. Fixed-price single inventory remains steady at around $6.00 to $8.66.
- Collector Strategy: Keep an eye on secondary shipping metrics. Several clean base auctions closed at low baselines ($0.99 and $1.25) with low shipping, while fixed-price inventory listed at $6.00 carried a steep $10.91 shipping charge. Look to bundle or target low-postage auctions to maximize value.
2. Night Vision Mini-Diamond Parallel (/299)
The short-printed Night Vision edition commands a reliable and minor step up in average value over the last 30 days.
- Variant Average Price: $5.50
- Price Range: $4.99 – $6.00
- Market Trend: The market is incredibly uniform here across tracked sales, with individual auctions hammering down at $4.99, $5.50, and $6.00. This highly predictable $5.50 baseline offers an excellent budget entry into the short-print space.
3. Mid-Tier Serial-Numbered Parallels (/199 down to /99)
True serial-numbered color variations begin to see an escalation in collector interest, separating themselves smoothly from the unnumbered tiers:
- Purple Parallel (/199): A raw copy serialized 123/199 attracted 10 active bids before closing at a firm $14.00 baseline.
- Blue Parallel (/150) Variant Average: $20.00. Highlighting exceptional market stability for the color run, two completely separate auctions for raw Blue variants closed back-to-back at the exact same final price point of $20.00 (one drawing 16 bids, the other logging 20 bids).
- Green Parallel (/99): Breaking under the 100-copy barrier, a raw Green parallel serial-numbered 40/99 saw strong competitive action, generating 16 bids to settle at a premium $77.76.
4. Premium Low-Numbered Parallels (/25)
The clear ceiling for Russell's raw market over the last 30 days centers heavily around high-end, low-print color-match territory:
- Orange Mini-Diamond Parallel (/25): Standing as the undisputed high-water mark, an ultra-rare Orange parallel serial-numbered 11/25 successfully commanded a $160.00 fixed price transaction.
Graded Market & Submission Strategy
According to product research data over the last 30 days, officially graded copies (such as PSA 9 or PSA 10 slabs) have not yet recorded sales for this specific card number, indicating that the current secondary market landscape remains raw-driven.
Key Submission Insights for Collectors:
- Reserve Base Grading: With raw base and short-print Night Vision cards averaging under $6.00, submission fees make grading standard examples tough to justify for immediate resale.
- Targeting Low-Number Arbitrage: The clear financial upside rests with submitting highly clean raw copies of premium parallels like the Green /99 and Orange /25. Since a raw Orange variant commands a healthy $160.00 floor, a copy that secures a verified Gem Mint PSA 10 holder will capture an aggressive condition premium from high-end Mercedes-AMG team registry collectors.
