The 2022-23 Panini Contenders Optic Uniformity Anthony Edwards Red Wave #18 is a Basketball card (Red Wave parallel) released in 2022. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $6.78.

An ungraded copy is worth around $6.78, a PSA 9 around $21.50, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $77.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $100.00. That's roughly a 11× 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?

With raw copies near $6.78 and top grades reaching $77.00, grading a sharp copy of this card can clearly pay for itself — the spread comfortably covers a typical ~$25.00 grading fee. The catch: only submit copies with strong centering, clean corners, and unmarked surfaces, because anything below a 9 usually erases the math.
