The 2016-17 Donruss Optic Base Set Joel Embiid Purple #1 is a Basketball card (Purple parallel) released in 2016. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $5.00.
An ungraded copy is worth around $5.00, a PSA 9 around $12.25, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $20.99 and a pristine BGS 10 around $27.00. That's roughly a 4.2× 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?
The spread between raw ($5.00) and top-graded ($20.99) copies is fairly tight, so grading this card only makes financial sense for truly flawless copies — or for collectors who simply prefer slabbed cards for protection and display.
