About this card's market
Cards from this era were printed in enormous quantities during the hobby's boom years, so raw copies are plentiful — but strict grading separates the true gems from the masses, and top grades remain hard to pull off.
The basketball card market rewards star power — top players' cards consistently outperform the broader market.
Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $2.50 and top grades reaching $274.69, 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.
When choosing a grader, PSA slabs typically resell fastest, BGS rewards truly pristine copies, and SGC/CGC offer faster turnarounds — compare each label's value in the grade table above.

Before buying a Larry Bird #8, compare several live listings — prices for the same card can vary widely depending on condition, seller reputation, and whether an auction is ending soon. The live eBay listings above update throughout the day.
