The case hit of the first Topps Chrome Tennis set, on the greatest player of the era at the end of it, and the market for it is sixteen sales in nine months. All raw but one. PSA has graded 9: one 10, six 9s, two 8s, and the one graded sale was a PSA 9 at $206 in June, a third under what raw copies were bringing. A raw copy sold for $600 in February, $143 in July, and $451 on September 21, the day this was written: three September sales at $275 to $451 after a summer at $143 to $178. No PSA 10 has ever sold. Nothing is listed on eBay at any grade. This is a card you own because you want it, and price by the last sale because there is nothing else.

What the auction houses change. The houses add nothing here: zero auction-house sales, ever. Fanatics, Goldin, ALT and Heritage have never listed the Djokovic Helix, and we reran Card Ladder without the platform filter to be sure. Fifteen of 16 sales are eBay; one was an overseas consignment listing at $374 in July. eBay is the only market, and it has no listing today. If you sell, a 7-day auction starting low will find the September buyers; if you have the one PSA 10, consign it to Goldin or ALT, because a pop-1 Djokovic case hit needs a room, not a Buy It Now.

Raw is the last three sales. The PSA 9 is one sale. The PSA 8 ($163) and PSA 10 ($797) are SportsCardsPro guide estimates: neither has sold. There are no auction-house prices, so that column repeats the guide.

Price History

The guide has raw at $490 in February on the one $600 sale, $300 in March, $178 since July; the dots are what actually sold each month, and September's three sales sit far above the guide. The PSA 9 line is the June sale carried forward. No PSA 10 line: no PSA 10 has sold.

SUPPLY: A CASE HIT FROM A SMALL FIRST-YEAR PRODUCT
2025 Topps Chrome Tennis was the first Chrome tennis set and Helix was its case hit. 9 graded copies, 16 sales in nine months, none listed today. The print run is unknown and the sales say it is small. Estimated value of all slabbed copies at today's prices: about $2.4K, on one real sale and two guide numbers.
New PSA 10s per month: tracking started Sep 2026.

THE MOOD
Nothing is listed on eBay at any grade, raw or slabbed, on Sep 21, 2026, and three copies sold in the last week at $275, $410 and $451. An empty shelf after three sales in a week means the next listing sets the price. If you are selling, list now into that; if you are buying, set a saved search and be ready to pay the last sale, because there is no second copy to wait for.

Alcaraz and Djokovic are the insert: every Helix sale over $300 this year is one of the two, and they trade at the same money raw. The difference is in the slabs: Alcaraz's 9s bring $335 to $347, Djokovic's one 9 brought $206. Buyers pay the same for the chance and less for the certainty on the older player.

One exists and it has never sold. The guide says $797. Pay guide money only at a house auction with other bidders in the room; a Buy It Now at $1,000 for a pop-1 nobody has priced is a guess, not a market.
Every angle

The Case For and Against

FOR
PSA pop 9, 16 sales in nine months, nothing listed: as scarce as any modern card on this site
September's three sales ($275 to $451) came in a week after a summer at $150; there are buyers when a copy appears
The last great Djokovic set: a case hit from his final Chrome product on the way out of the game
Alcaraz's Helix trades at the same money raw, and Alcaraz has twenty years of cards ahead of him; the scarcity here is finite
AGAINST
One graded sale in nine months, at half the raw price. Grading this card has been a way to lose $204
Sixteen sales, $143 to $600. The price is whatever the last buyer felt like; there is no market to check it against
The one PSA 10 has never sold and may never; the guide's $797 is a formula, not a bid
Nothing at the houses, ever. When you want out, it is an eBay auction and hope
THE VERDICT

Holding a raw copy? Keep it raw. The one graded sale was $206, half of what raw brought this month, and eight of nine submissions come back a 9 or worse. Sell it raw into September's buyers with a 7-day auction if you want out; three cleared at $275 to $451 this week and the shelf is empty. Grade it only if it is flawless under a loupe and you are willing to hold the 10 for a house auction. Holding the PSA 10? Consign it to Goldin or ALT; it is a pop-1 on Djokovic and deserves a room. Buying? $250 to $350 raw when one appears, and a 9 under $220 if you want the slab.
