The 2000 Upper Deck Kobe Bryant #438 is a Basketball card released in 2000. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $4.89.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $4.89 and top grades reaching $125.15, 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.
