The 1996 UD3 Hakeem Olajuwon #22 is a Basketball card released in 1996. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.60.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $1.60 and top grades reaching $72.25, 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.
