The 1999 Finest Tim James Gold Refractor #261 is a Basketball card (Gold Refractor parallel) released in 1999. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $30.50.
An ungraded copy is worth around $30.50, a PSA 9 around $72.11, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $589.83 and a pristine BGS 10 around $767.00. That's roughly a 19× 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 $30.50 and top grades reaching $589.83, 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.
