The 2002 Topps Pristine Yao Ming Gold Refractor #53 is a Basketball card (Gold Refractor parallel) released in 2002. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $381.66.
An ungraded copy is worth around $381.66, a PSA 9 around $275.65, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $749.94 and a pristine BGS 10 around $975.00. The gem-mint premium is modest (about 2.0× raw), so condition matters here but doesn't completely define the price.
Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $381.66 and top grades reaching $749.94, 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.
