Benge auto/patch value
What is a realistic price for this card? Don’t know much about the baseball card industry and realize this card is more valuable to us Mets fans (at the moment anyways).

Found a similar card from the same set sold on eBay last week.
It's a parallel #/5 patch auto sold for $47. This one is a nicer patch and #/3 so I'd guess a little bit more. Might be better off holding it for another month if he goes on a tear and wins ROY.
Here is the same exact card that sold for $47 but for some reason it's showing a live listing instead of the sold.

It’s gonna go up as he continues to rise. He’s now like 3rd in every rookie stat it’s crazy, he went from 40:1 to 7:1 odds to win ROY. He could pull it off. Happy w my $20 wager and my bowman’s inserts I got in april for $5

It’s “unlicensed” so the value will be significantly lower than a card from Topps where they can display The Mets name on the jersey
That said, if he wins ROY then you could probably get a decent amount.
If you’re local, there are a few card shops that you can walk into in Manhattan that will help you with a price guide - I find that better than searching online for cards like this.
