About this card's market
This card comes from the modern era, where print runs tightened and parallels became the chase. Base versions are accessible, while graded gems and rare parallels carry the premium.
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 $333.00 and top grades reaching $1,832.95, 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.
PSA remains the most liquid grading label in the hobby, while BGS (with its Black Label 10) and modern entrants CGC and SGC have growing followings — the table above shows how each label prices for this card.
