1999 Finest LaPhonso Ellis #28 value & prices

The 1999 Finest LaPhonso Ellis #28 is a Basketball card released in 1999. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $0.25.

An ungraded copy is worth around $0.25, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $25.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $33.00. That's roughly a 100× 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?

The spread between raw ($0.25) and top-graded ($25.00) copies is fairly tight, so grading this card only makes financial sense for truly flawless copies — or for collectors who simply prefer slabbed cards for protection and display.
