The 1989 Hoops Akeem Olajuwon #178 is a Basketball card released in 1989. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.00.
An ungraded copy is worth around $1.00, a PSA 9 around $15.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $27.93 and a pristine BGS 10 around $36.00. That's roughly a 28× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.
Is it worth grading?
The spread between raw ($1.00) and top-graded ($27.93) copies is fairly tight, so grading this card only makes financial sense for truly flawless copies — or for collectors who simply prefer slabbed cards for protection and display.
