The 2006 Bowman Sterling Yao Ming #21 is a Basketball card released in 2006. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $13.50.
An ungraded copy is worth around $13.50, a PSA 9 around $38.53, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $59.99 and a pristine BGS 10 around $78.00. That's roughly a 4.4× 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?
The spread between raw ($13.50) and top-graded ($59.99) 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.
