The math is close. Slab if you want liquidity and a cert; stay raw if you like the card in hand.
Grade yield
44% chance of PSA 9+. Net potential upside: −$32 after grading costs. Leave it raw.
PSA regular · $50 fee · $15 ship · $8 insurance · about 45 days. Shifted by this photo's 7.5 and 18,600 graded copies. Not a PSA yield.
Raw $380 · PSA 10 $920 · PSA 9 $340 · PSA 8 no book
- PSA 108% · pop 2,400+$354 after fee
- PSA 936% · pop 9,800-$150 after fee
- PSA 811%
Net is the slab price minus a 13% take, ship pad, a $50 fee, and raw. A 10 is not the likely outcome of a 9 photo.
Hold or sell
Mixed book — no rush
Liquidity 65
Basketball is in its long season. Stars stay liquid. Commons do not. One census snapshot — not a live pop velocity.
Trust shield
Check these tells
A phone photo cannot measure font kerning or a rosette against a reference set. These are the known tells for this issue.
- Red Fleer borders must register with the photo — drift is common on fakes
- Confirm the 1986 Fleer copyright line, not a later Fleer logo

Tells
How fakes fail
Border registration and copyright lines catch most reprints.
- Red Fleer borders must register with the photo — drift is common on fakes
- Confirm the 1986 Fleer copyright line, not a later Fleer logo
- Upper Deck holograms must show the diamond; flat silver stickers fail
- Centering on these issues is wild even on real copies — don't use it as a fake tell
On this issue: 2009-10 Hoops, not Prestige or UD. Confirm the Warriors road and Hoops banner.
Centering & surface
Meter L/R and T/B from this photo, then loupe the print. A hint at what PSA, BGS, or SGC might say — not a cert.
