The 1996 Topps Stars George Mikan Finest Atomic Refractor #30 is a Basketball card (Finest Atomic Refractor parallel) released in 1996. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $6.10.

An ungraded copy is worth around $6.10, a PSA 9 around $35.90, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $136.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $177.00. That's roughly a 22× 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 $6.10 and top grades reaching $136.00, 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.
