The 2005 Topps Chrome Jay-Z #217 is a Basketball card released in 2006. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $5.76.
An ungraded copy is worth around $5.76, a PSA 9 around $25.93, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $85.55 and a pristine BGS 10 around $111.00. That's roughly a 15× 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 $5.76 and top grades reaching $85.55, 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.
