The 1996 Finest David Robinson Refractor w Coating #257 is a Basketball card (Refractor w Coating parallel) released in 1996. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $34.99.
An ungraded copy is worth around $34.99, a PSA 9 around $64.60, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $225.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $293.00. That's roughly a 6.4× 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 $34.99 and top grades reaching $225.00, 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.
