Looking up a Basketball Card’s Value
The search results will show basketball card prices, based on recently sold cards… hopefully just like yours. The “worth” that initially shows is the average price (including shipping) of the results showing on the page.
Use the Checkboxes
If you get a lot of results that don’t match your basketball card, try adding more details to your search. You can also use the checkboxes to get an average price. Pick a few comparable items (“comps”). This gives you a much more accurate estimate of what your basketball card is worth.
Graded Cards
To look up graded basketball cards, enter the grading company and grade, for example PSA 9 or BGS 9.
What to do Next
Once you’ve gone through and searched for the value of your basketball cards using our price guide, you have several different options:
If they’re valuable: You can either hold onto the cards, perhaps get them graded if not already, and see if they appreciate in value over time. Alternatively, you sell it to a local card shop, but keep in mind dealers pay wholesale prices… they have to make a profit after all, and selling a large collection takes a considerable amount of time and resources… so don’t expect to get eBay prices for your basketball cards when you sell to a dealer. If you have the time and patience, you can sell it yourself on eBay and get a competitive price. Read our guide to selling on eBay.
If not: Basketball cards don’t have to be worth money to be considered valuable. Card collecting has been a beloved hobby that has been passed through generations. Each card has sentimental value to someone: where they found it, how they traded for it, who gave it to them. If your cards aren’t worth money, they could be worth some memories to a relative or a stranger. Put them on Craigslist, take them to a card shop, donate them, or hold onto them to give to the next generation.

The most expensive basketball cards of November-December - Hobby: Collectible cards - Blogs
Hobby: Collectible cards
Blog
Hello everyone!
After a short break, the top most expensive basketball cards are back. Today we will capture 2 months - November and December.
In order for the cards of different periods to be presented in the top, I divided it into three parts: before the 90s, the 90s and the first half of the 00s and the last 10 years.
Let's go from new cards to old ones (most often this means an increase in cost).
So, the top 4 most expensive new cards.
4) In fourth place is a 1/1 LeBron James card from Flawless 2015-16 with the NBA logo. They paid $10,300 for it.
3) Next is newcomer Steph Curry from Topps Chrome 2009-10. The gold parallel in this collection has a circulation of 50 copies. Added to this is the almost perfect condition of the card, and the total price is $10,600.
2) And the same amount was paid for a Karl-Anthony Towns card with a mourning patch dedicated to Flip Saunders of Flawless 2015-16.
1) And in the first place, 2 league logos and two Golden State stars - the same Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. It's the same Flawless collection from last season. The price of this card is $12,000 without one dollar.
Further older cards. I will say in advance that all 4 are from the second half of the 90s
4-3) And open the top two cards of Michael Jordan with a jersey and an autograph. In the first case, the card in this form was inserted into the blocks of the Upper Deck 19 collection98-99 - a kind of parallel with the autograph with a circulation of 23 copies. $10,999 was paid for the card. And the second card in the collection of the previous season was a regular unnumbered jersey. For a re-release in 2013, an autograph was at stake in the Jordan collection. The resulting result was estimated at $15,000.
2) Next, another overlay of the top newcomer from Topps Chrome. This time it's Kobe Bryant and the 1995-96 collection. Plus, the card itself is in excellent condition. Price $17500.
1) And in the first place is the red parallel Metall Universe PMG by Michael Jordan with an edition of only 100 copies. In addition, the card number 23/100 is of additional interest. It should also be noted that the card was sent to the PSA for an authenticity check, but not for a condition assessment. The rating would not be high - edge damage (not rare for cards of this sub-series) is visible to the naked eye. As a result, the card was sold for $21453.
Well, the oldest top contains only the classic rookie cards of future NBA legends.
4) And this list opens with Wilt Chamberlain's map from the Fleer collection from 1961. The condition of the card is 9 points out of 10 possible, and the price is $32,211.
3-2) Next, two cards from rookie Michael Jordan. Moreover, for a rarer 9-point card from Star-85, they paid more ($40,207) than for a 10-point card from Fleer-86 ($35,999).
1) Well, absolutely out of competition is the triple card of Larry Bird, Julius Irving and Magic Johnson - the main newcomers of the 1979 season-80 from Topps. Three members of the Hall of Fame + the perfect condition of the card itself gave a total of $96423.
Thank you for your attention!
Million for the highlight. What is NBA Top Shot?
For some - a field of miracles, for others - a field for experiments.
The question, what would you spend $1 million on if you had one, is trite, but there are also original answers. In a recent interview, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban answered a sacramental question like this: I would pay $1 million for Luka Doncic's NBA Top Shot 3-pointer.
It's clear that a man with an estimated net worth of $4.2 billion probably spends $1 million just on toilet filler for his dogs, yet Cuban's eccentricity requires a few explanations. We are talking about a 15-second recording of last year's playoff game in which Doncic buries the Los Angeles Clippers to the sound of the final siren, and NBA Top Shot is a new online platform that combines elements of cryptocurrency and collecting sports cards.
In essence, the NBA Top Shot is a repository of spectacular and meaningful NBA footage packaged in collectible packs, each with its own starting price depending on the characteristics.
Regular sets. They cost $9 and include 9 junk episodes that can be repeated in sets up to 1000+ times.
Rare. Estimated at $ 22, because in addition to 7 regular episodes, they include one rare episode, the circulation of which does not exceed 999 clips.
Legendary. To become a Legend, you only need to pay a minimum of $230, after which you will become the owner of 6 Common Moments, 3 Rare Moments, and one Legendary Moment, the latter limited to 99 copies.
Each of these sets, even the cheapest ones, are produced in limited editions. By logging into the NBA Top Shot website, you provide your email address, after which you will receive an invitation to bid every time a new batch of highlight sets appears. In addition to the usual buy and sell, the site has a number of challenges, within which it is proposed to collect a certain collection or several episodes with the participation of the same player. Completing each of them raises the owner's reputation level and the value of his collection.
This is the main concept of the whole idea. Buying a set for $20, you can fish out the very moment that another unfortunate trader will need, who is ready to pay dozens of times the value of your entire house to own it.
You can smile skeptically and twist your finger at your temple, but today NBA Top Shot has registered in the Top 3 NFT platforms. NFT is an exclusive crypto asset that cannot be divided into parts or counterfeited. It is when looking for NFT tokens that huge deals are made today for the purchase of virtual art objects. Each video, image, picture has a unique NFT code, which makes them unique. Not so long ago, Argentine designer Andres Reisinger sold 10 pieces of 3D furniture for $450,000. The auction took about 10 minutes. Not "12 chairs" by Ilf and Petrov, but not bad either.
So this is art... But only we live in an era when trade becomes the main art, and the more elegant the process is wrapped in, the greater the profit. Proof: Zion Williamson's blocked shot against the Denver Nuggets, which was sold on the NBA Top Shot for $250,000.
In total, more than $230 million worth of highlights have been bought and sold during the existence of the platform. The market value of ordinary game clips is warmed up not only by the fact of the novelty of the NBA Top Shot (its launch took place back in 2019-m), but by the fact that right now the moment has come when people master the process of earning money through digital technologies.
The league itself understands this, because it was the NBA, in collaboration with Dapper Labs, a company specializing in the creation of blockchain services, that launched the NBA Top Shot. What is happening now may not be a long-term, but an ideal situation for all those involved in the process.
The NBA, which sank in ratings due to the pandemic, presented fans with a new opportunity to join the league, to become the exclusive owner of a part of it.
If you have the time and patience, you can sell it yourself on eBay and get a competitive price. Read our guide to selling on eBay.
