The 2016-17 Panini Prizm Explosion LeBron James Ruby Wave Prizm #1 is a Basketball card (Ruby Wave Prizm parallel) released in 2016. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $16.48.
An ungraded copy is worth around $16.48, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $264.95 and a pristine BGS 10 around $344.00. That's roughly a 16× 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?
With raw copies near $16.48 and top grades reaching $264.95, 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.
