The 1994 Upper Deck Jordan Rare Air Michael Jordan #42 is a Basketball card released in 1994. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $5.03.

An ungraded copy is worth around $5.03, a PSA 9 around $55.03, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $150.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $195.00. That's roughly a 30× 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 $5.03 and top grades reaching $150.00, 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.
