Condition is everything here — an ungraded copy is worth around $1.99, a PSA 9 around $9.25, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $30.48 and a pristine BGS 10 around $40.00. That's roughly a 15× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.

Collector's notes

The junk-wax era means supply is high, but that cuts both ways: raw copies are affordable entry points, while flawless graded examples stand out precisely because so many copies exist in lesser condition.

Basketball cards have been one of the hobby's strongest categories, with rookie cards and flagship sets like Prizm leading demand.

Is it worth grading?

The spread between raw ($1.99) and top-graded ($30.48) copies is fairly tight, so grading this card only makes financial sense for truly flawless copies — or for collectors who simply prefer slabbed cards for protection and display.

PSA remains the most liquid grading label in the hobby, while BGS (with its Black Label 10) and modern entrants CGC and SGC have growing followings — the table above shows how each label prices for this card.
