The 1996 Topps Stars Magic Johnson Finest Refractor #22 is a Basketball card (Finest Refractor parallel) released in 1996. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $17.50.
An ungraded copy is worth around $17.50, a PSA 9 around $35.22, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $124.40 and a pristine BGS 10 around $162.00. That's roughly a 7.1× 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 $17.50 and top grades reaching $124.40, 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.
