The 2005 Topps Chrome Yao Ming Gold Refractor #8 is a Basketball card (Gold Refractor parallel) released in 2006. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $238.29.
An ungraded copy is worth around $238.29, a PSA 9 around $411.57, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $494.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $642.00. The gem-mint premium is modest (about 2.1× raw), so condition matters here but doesn't completely define the price.
Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $238.29 and top grades reaching $494.00, 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.
