The 2016-17 Donruss Optic Base Set Joel Embiid Red #1 is a Basketball card (Red parallel) released in 2016. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $24.27.
An ungraded copy is worth around $24.27, a PSA 9 around $37.86, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $124.72 and a pristine BGS 10 around $162.00. That's roughly a 5.1× 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 $24.27 and top grades reaching $124.72, 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.
