43 out of 100 — our all-round score from the season line, his tools against the level, and how young he is for it.
Nothing of his is in the store right now. That is a statement about inventory, not about the player — the search links at the foot of the page ask eBay directly.
No card of his is listed, and we have no benchmark price to set a target against yet.
Our take
Fringe prospect, nothing for sale.
Tyler Black scores 43 out of 100 (#3158 of the 7,922 we score), and the case rests on one thing: speed: plus — 37 SB per 600 PA — stolen bases per full season of plate appearances Better than 89% at his level.
We have 1 confirmed sale of his cards in the last 90 days, but no standardized benchmark card yet, so the price side rests on whatever is listed rather than on one comparable series.
There is nothing of his to buy right now, so this is a page to come back to rather than act on.
The thing most likely to be wrong here: corner-only profile — dH carries no defensive fallback — if the bat does not play, there is no version of this that works.
The signal
The case is fading
Baseball momentum 33/100 — the on-field case is fading. Read from his baseball alone — never from what his cards did.
Speed: plus
37 SB per 600 PA — stolen bases per full season of plate appearances Better than 89% at his level.
Bat-first profile
DH — there is no defensive value to fall back on, so the bat has to play.
Plate discipline: plus
15.4% BB — walk rate — higher means he makes pitchers come to him Better than 85% at his level.
Why now
No catalyst right now — no promotion, no logged step change, and no measurable move in his card prices. This is a valuation-driven watch rather than a timing one.
What could go wrong
Corner-only profile
DH carries no defensive fallback — if the bat does not play, there is no version of this that works.
Thin comp evidence
1 confirmed sale in 90 days. Treat any value here as a single data point, not a price.
Nothing to buy
No card of his is listed in the store right now, so none of the market reading above is actionable today.
What the hobby pays for him
A benchmark is the one standardized card we track a player's market on, so every player's price means the same thing.
Benchmark not yet established — no 1st Bowman vehicle observed for this player. Until one exists, only his individual listings can be judged.
The card that matters
A card-quality answer, not a price one. It does not change when a seller changes their mind.
Canonical card not established — We have not assigned him a benchmark card yet, so there is no canonical answer to give. Until one exists, only his individual listings can be judged.
Best value right now
Where the money would go today, which is frequently a lesser card than the one above — or nowhere.
Insufficient market evidence
No live ask and no confirmed sale on any version of his cards, so there is nothing here to call good or bad value.
What would make this a buy
- Something of his has to be listed before there is anything to act on.
- A promotion, or a stretch that lifts the season line, would move the player side of this.
What is for sale right now
No live listings. Nothing of his is in the store right now.
What the same money buys today
Nothing of his is worth buying right now. These live cards from other players are the ones we rate as a buy or a watch at the same budget — not a view on Tyler Black, just what the money can do today.

The parallel ladder1 version of his cards in psa 9, each priced off its own confirmed sales
Every version of his cards we can see, base to 1/1. Each rung is priced off its own confirmed sales — a rung nothing has verifiably sold at shows no value rather than borrowing a neighbour's.
Showing PSA 9.
NO CLEAR SWEET SPOT
No rung of his has a confirmed sale behind it, so there is no price to compare any step against.

What he is good at
skills overall 55 / 80
On the 20–80 scale every scouting report uses: 50 is average, and every 10 points is one standard deviation. Measured against 728 hitters at Triple-A — measured against real players at the same level right now — not a scout's projection of what he becomes.

0.0y vs his level
years younger than the median player at his level — positive is young for the level
The overall figure averages the 4 skill rows only. The box-score row and the age row are shown but deliberately left out of it — one is the result those skills produced, and the other is not a skill at all.
The argument
skills at the 67th percentile of the cohort, production at the 41th — his tools run further ahead of his results than 87% of the players he is measured against.
The market prices the stat line, and his is behind what he is doing. That is where a card is cheap for a reason that can change.
How this is read: his skills average 67 and his production sits at 41, a gap of +26. That gap on its own means little — an average of several percentiles always sits nearer the middle than a single one — so it is ranked against the same figure computed the same way for the 726 players at his level we hold a full profile for, where it lands at the 87th percentile.
Will he get there?

- old for Triple-A
This is an ordering score, not a percentage. We hold no outcome data and have run no backtest, so “a 93% chance of reaching the majors” would be a number we made up and you then spent money on. Built on 100% of what it wants to know.

What his cards have sold for1 logged sale
Real completed sales only — nothing here is an estimate. These come from the scan: it asks eBay about listings it has already seen, and one that ends at a fixed price is recorded as a sale. That builds up over days. You can add one by hand below if you happen to know it, but you are not meant to be the price database.
Only 1 sale logged so far. We need at least two to draw a line, and about five spread over a month before the numbers mean much. Add sales you find using the button below.

Worth reading for this player
- Grading break-even calculator — his cards have sold graded, so the raw-versus-graded gap is a real decision here
- Parallel scarcity calculator — numbered parallels of his cards are in play, and print run drives the premium
- Raw vs graded Bowman cards — his sales include graded copies alongside raw ones
- Parallels and print runs — his market includes numbered parallels, which are priced off the print run
