Below grade 10 the guide publishes one estimate across all graders, so these rows are not PSA, BGS, CGC or SGC prices, and a low slabbed grade can sit below a clean raw copy. Grade 10 is estimated per grader.
Each point is the last stored observation that day for this printing, condition, grader, autograph status and source. Gaps mean no observation; guide estimates and asking prices are not completed sales.

SuperCatch Expert Analysis
Market Value Insight
The 1989 Bowman Bobby Bonilla sits at the lower end of his collectible spectrum, consistent with a high-print-run base card from an era known for mass production. Bonilla's career significance as a five-time All-Star and key piece of the early 1990s Pittsburgh Pirates dynasty gives the card cultural relevance, though it does not command a premium in ungraded condition. Within the 1989 Bowman set, this card trades in line with other common base entries rather than standing out as a set centerpiece.
Rarity Breakdown
The 1989 Bowman set was produced in large quantities during the junk wax era, meaning raw copies exist in abundance with minimal scarcity driving demand. There are no noted parallels, serial numbering, or short print designations associated with this base card, placing it firmly in standard issue territory. Graded population data reflects a modest number of high-grade submissions, as the card's low value has historically discouraged formal grading investment.
Investment Outlook
Bonilla's enduring fame — amplified by the widely publicized deferred payment arrangement with the New York Mets — generates recurring cultural interest that occasionally lifts demand for his vintage cards around 'Bobby Bonilla Day' each July 1st. This cyclical attention creates short windows of elevated market activity rather than sustained long-term appreciation, making timing a key factor for holders. Grading submission trends for this card remain low given the cost-to-value ratio, though a pristine PSA 10 example does attract collector interest above the raw market baseline.
