The 2016-17 Panini Prizm Explosion LeBron James Blue Wave Prizm #1 is a Basketball card (Blue Wave Prizm parallel) released in 2016. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $38.67.
An ungraded copy is worth around $38.67, a PSA 9 around $50.80, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $92.60 and a pristine BGS 10 around $120.00. The gem-mint premium is modest (about 2.4× raw), so condition matters here but doesn't completely define the price.
Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $38.67 and top grades reaching $92.60, 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.
