2026 Topps Series 1 ROMAN ANTHONY RC #189 Graded PXG 10 Gem Mint psa stacks
Background compiled from public web sources. Check it before you buy or sell.
45.7% drop in last 30 days from $35 to $19 averages due to post-release supply flood and unmet hype; typical for new flagship RCs.
Next months. Continued softening to $10-15 raw; graded holds $50-100
Long term. Potential rebound to $50+ raw if Anthony stars in majors by 2027; otherwise stabilizes at $10-20
Roman Anthony is a top prospect for the Boston Red Sox, ranked among MLB's elite young talents. An outfielder with elite hitting potential, power, and speed, he rose quickly through the minors and is expected to debut in the majors soon, making his 2026 Topps Series 1 rookie card a key chase card for Red Sox and prospect collectors.
Released in early 2026 as part of Topps Series 1 Baseball, the flagship set featuring Spring Training insert design for this rookie card #189.
Condition. Check for centering issues common in flagship Topps sets, edge wear from pack pulling, surface scratches on foil parallels, print defects on Spring Training texture; corners prone to dings in raw copies.
Storage. Use semi-rigid holders or top-loaders with sleeves for raw cards; graded slabs for long-term; store in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent foil oxidation.
Authenticity. Verify RC logo and card stock thickness; fakes rare for recent flagship but check for blurry printing or incorrect fonts; use graded/graded/graded population reports; eBay listings should show multiple angles.
