Collector's notes
Cards from this era were printed in enormous quantities during the hobby's boom years, so raw copies are plentiful — but strict grading separates the true gems from the masses, and top grades remain hard to pull off.
The basketball card market rewards star power — top players' cards consistently outperform the broader market.
Is it worth grading?
The spread between raw ($1.27) and top-graded ($25.00) 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.
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.

The fastest way to gauge the real market for this card is to scan the live eBay listings above: look at the spread between auction and Buy-It-Now prices, and check sold history before paying top dollar.
