The 2008 Upper Deck Starquest Yao Ming Blue #SQ-23 is a Basketball card (Blue parallel) released in 2008. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $3.00.
An ungraded copy is worth around $3.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $19.64 and a pristine BGS 10 around $26.00. That's roughly a 6.5× 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 ($3.00) and top-graded ($19.64) 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.
