The 2004 Bowman Yao Ming Chrome Gold Refractor #1 is a Basketball card released in 2004. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $14.19.
An ungraded copy is worth around $14.19, a PSA 9 around $64.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $204.98 and a pristine BGS 10 around $266.00. 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?
With raw copies near $14.19 and top grades reaching $204.98, 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.
