Which Ty Johnson card is the real rookie card

His 2019 rookie cards were made by Panini, which held the NFL trading card license that season; Topps did not issue NFL-licensed cards again until 2025 Topps Chrome Football, released in April 2026. He is in the 2019 Prizm rookie run (#399) and the base Rookies section of Donruss Optic (#145), not the Rated Rookie subsets; his 2019 Donruss card (#295) carries an RC tag in the base set. His Wikipedia article is 'Ty Johnson (American football)', since 'Ty Johnson' is a disambiguation page.

How PSA, CGC and Beckett grade

PSA

Top grades:: Gem Mint 10, then Mint 9 and NM-MT 8.
Half grades:: 1.5 through 8.5 since February 2008; there is no PSA 9.5.

Half grades:: Yes, from Fair 1.5 up to Mint+ 9.5.

Authentic (AU) for a genuine card that cannot take a number; Authentic Altered (AA) for one that was altered.

How to identify your Ty Johnson card and check what it sold for

Find the year and maker on the back of your Ty Johnson card, and the card number, usually top or bottom on the back.
Check the front and back for a serial number (for example 23/99) and for a colored or patterned finish: those mark a parallel, which is a different card from the base version.
Look for the RC logo or the word Rookie. A card from before the first pro season, such as a Bowman 1st or a college card, is a prospect card, not a rookie card.
Note any grade on the slab label (PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC). A raw card and a graded one are different listings.
Search sold listings for that exact year, set, number, parallel and grade. What a card sold for is a better guide than any asking price.

Check Ty Johnson rookie cards in eBay's sold listings or eBay's price guide for that exact card.
