Zach Benson

2023 · Upper Deck · 2023-24 Upper Deck Extended Series - 1998-99 UD3 - Gold · #UD3-28

Zach Benson scan. OBSERVED: COMC lowest ask $4.57, 8 competing copies. FACT: SportsCardsPro ungraded value $6.14 (eBay sold 2026-05-17). ESTIMATE: conservative fair value $5.20 (SCP less ~15%); expected net ROI after ~12% fees ~14% at FV, ~20% at target $5.50 - below 25% minimum. Hard blocker regardless: cash $16.19 vs $15.00 min reserve leaves only $1.19 deployable. WATCH; revisit if ask < $4.00.
