The 2002 Upper Deck MVP Kobe Bryant #79 is a Basketball card released in 2002. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $4.70.
An ungraded copy is worth around $4.70, a PSA 9 around $57.50, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $113.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $147.00. That's roughly a 24× 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 $4.70 and top grades reaching $113.00, 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.
