The 1997 SP Authentic Michael Jordan Sample #SPA23 is a Basketball card released in 1997. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $8.96.
An ungraded copy is worth around $8.96, a PSA 9 around $149.99, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $262.92 and a pristine BGS 10 around $342.00. That's roughly a 29× 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 $8.96 and top grades reaching $262.92, 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.
