The 1997 Ultra Kobe Bryant #252 is a Basketball card released in 1997. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $13.01.
An ungraded copy is worth around $13.01, a PSA 9 around $164.48, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $371.45 and a pristine BGS 10 around $483.00. That's roughly a 29× 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 $13.01 and top grades reaching $371.45, 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.
