Collector's notes

Modern-era production quality means more cards survive in near-mint shape — which raises the bar for what earns a top grade and keeps gem-mint premiums meaningful.

Basketball cards have been one of the hobby's strongest categories, with rookie cards and flagship sets like Prizm leading demand.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $8.14 and top grades reaching $655.06, 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.

PSA remains the most liquid grading label in the hobby, while BGS (with its Black Label 10) and modern entrants CGC and SGC have growing followings — the table above shows how each label prices for this card.
