Market context

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 $75.75 and top grades reaching $504.98, 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.
