The 2005 Finest Yao Ming Red Refractor #21 is a Basketball card (Red Refractor parallel) released in 2005. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $25.49.
An ungraded copy is worth around $25.49, a PSA 9 around $125.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $252.19 and a pristine BGS 10 around $328.00. That's roughly a 9.9× 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 $25.49 and top grades reaching $252.19, 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.
