2009 Donruss Elite LeBron James Retail #16 value & prices

The 2009 Donruss Elite LeBron James Retail #16 is a Basketball card (Retail parallel) released in 2009. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $5.99.

An ungraded copy is worth around $5.99, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $30.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $39.00. That's roughly a 5.0× 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 ($5.99) and top-graded ($30.00) 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.
