The 1996 Metal Decade of Excellence Sam Perkins #M8 is a Basketball card released in 1996. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $7.73.
An ungraded copy is worth around $7.73, a PSA 9 around $39.10, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $200.41 and a pristine BGS 10 around $261.00. That's roughly a 26× 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 $7.73 and top grades reaching $200.41, 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.
