The 1997 Finest LaPhonso Ellis Refractor w/ Coating #270 is a Basketball card (Refractor w/ Coating parallel) released in 1997. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $1.98.
An ungraded copy is worth around $1.98, a PSA 9 around $18.97, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $81.79 and a pristine BGS 10 around $106.00. That's roughly a 41× 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 $1.98 and top grades reaching $81.79, 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.
