PATENTED ONLY · PRELIMINARY RAW GUIDE

$480–$700

Patented only · low confidence · not the pair

The headline prices only Patented PD-16. Golden Mirror needs fresher raw evidence before assigning a current combined replacement value.

How we arrived at this estimate

Patented-only editorial starting band using August reported ungraded records. Original transactions were not recovered. Thin evidence and unknown copy condition limit confidence; this is neither a statistical interval nor the two-card package value.

Assumptions: Authentic standard Patented PD-16, raw in sound condition. Excludes graded, signed or damaged copies and postage, tax and selling fees. Golden Mirror and the original card require separate consideration.

Patented supports a preliminary $480–$700 raw discussion. Golden Mirror has older raw evidence, but adding values from different periods would not establish a current package price or prove the exchange fair.

Know what you have

Identity first

Compare value at the same date and condition.

Ask for the valuation date and records used for both replacements. A damaged original, an undamaged comparable and a potential PSA 10 are different assets. The requester’s approximately $3,000 April figure remains a claim; an amount recoverable today has not been established.

FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE

The comps behind the answer.

0 matching records

Exact titles support research of the named issues. Condition, original accepted amounts and fees remain unverified; copies may have resold.

The requester supplied typed replacement names, not an official manufacturer letter or physical-card photographs. Public catalogue reference images show other copies; no requester image or private submission information is reproduced.

What was included and excluded?

Golden Mirror is not Gold /2025. Patented is not an autograph. Orange RayWave /25 is not ordinary Orange, base RayWave, Chrome Update #151 or a PSA-graded copy. No first-serial premium is assumed.

PULL ODDS

Short print does not give exact-player odds.

No format-specific manufacturer odds or unnumbered insert print runs were verified. The reported /25 serial applies to the original Orange RayWave, not either replacement.

SMALL DETAILS. DIFFERENT CARDS.

Make sure it’s this one.

The named replacements correspond to 2025–26 Topps Golden Mirror image variation #201 and 2025–26 Topps Chrome Patented PD-16. This is conditional identification from the supplied names, not authentication of delivered copies. Confirm their backs and condition. The returned Orange RayWave is reported as serial 1/25; its exact damage and replacement terms were not available. Patented catalogue reference:
