Market context
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?
With raw copies near $25.63 and top grades reaching $2,637.67, 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.
