The 2008 Upper Deck Starquest Yao Ming Gold #SQ-23 is a Basketball card (Gold parallel) released in 2008. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $7.61.
An ungraded copy is worth around $7.61, a PSA 9 around $22.71, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $100.00 and a pristine BGS 10 around $130.00. That's roughly a 13× 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 $7.61 and top grades reaching $100.00, 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.
