The 2008 SP Authentic Yao Ming #78 is a Basketball card released in 2008. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $2.25.
An ungraded copy is worth around $2.25, a PSA 9 around $19.60, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $31.64 and a pristine BGS 10 around $41.00. That's roughly a 14× 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 ($2.25) and top-graded ($31.64) 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.
