How much is a grant hill basketball card worth

Ranking His Most Valuable RCs

There was a time when owning a Grant Hill Rookie Card made one the envy of many hobby circles. It didn’t matter which one, all were hot for a time.

If you made a list of ’90s NBA icons, Grant Hill would rank high. Although the back half of his career doesn’t come close to the level of his years in Detroit, the final result was deemed worthy of a spot in the Hall of Fame. When it comes to Grant Hill cards, it’s a similar result. The non-Pistons stuff might not garner much attention. But that’s not the case of his early cards, including the Grant Hill Rookie Card lineup.

For the most part, his early cards aren’t worth much. You can find the majority of his Rookies for about the same as an extra shot of butter on your movie theatre popcorn. They come from a different era when autographs were tough pulls, high-end meant foil and short prints were usually reserved for inserts.

And we had protective film on some cards where you had to choose whether to peel or not to peel.

Grant Hill has more than a dozen Rookie Cards, all of which are attainable today. Some of the parallels and high-grade versions can get more expensive, but not to extremes. Here’s a look at all of the Grant Hill Rookie Cards and where they sit next to each other.

This list includes Grant Hill cards with the RC tag in the Beckett database. Inserts are not. Rankings are based primarily on their value in the price guide.

15. 1994-95 Collector’s Choice Grant Hill RC #219

Collector’s Choice may have been on the entry level end of things for Upper Deck but the line could always be counted on for clean design that didn’t look “entry level.” The 1994-95 Collector’s Choice Grant Hill isn’t worth much and it’s not hard to find. But it’s still got one of the better action shots when you line it up with his other Rookie Cards.

14.

1994-95 Topps Basketball went a little bit edgy with its design. But even then, it’s far from being over-the-top. Like a lot of flagship lines, scarcity isn’t an issue. This is a card that was designed to be readily available and the price today reflects that.

13. 1994-95 Fleer Grant Hill RC #280

This is another entry-level Grant Hill Rookie Card. The design is largely minimal on the front save for that splash of color (in foil, no less) at the bottom. It actually gives the card some added personality. The dark back offers a more bold direction. This card is found in 1994-95 Fleer Series 2 packs.

12. 1994-95 SP Championship Grant Hill RC #57

1994-95 SP Championship brought Upper Deck’s SP line to retail. The result is something that looks more elegant than a lot of other retail products at the time but not to the same level as the main SP set. Prices on this Grant Hill RC reflect that with this one being on the more affordable end of things.

11. 1994-95 Hoops Grant Hill RC #322

1994-95 Hoops makes it easy to know this is a Rookie. The gold foil designation looks ready to play the role of Dikembe Mutombo, standing between Hill and the basket. If you’re looking for this card in packs, you’ll need Series 2. Although this is one of the cheaper Grant Hill Rookie Cards, the Hoops name does lend it a bit of lineage given the history of the brand in the modern hobby.

10. 1994-95 SkyBox Premium Grant Hill RC #226

From the beginning, SkyBox was big on big designs. This holds true for the 1994-95 SkyBox Premium Grant Hill Rookie Card. It’s the one that glows. It’s found in Series 2 packs.

9. 1994-95 Stadium Club Grant Hill RC #181

The awesome photographs that Stadium Club is usually known for — it’s not happening here. Instead we get something more photo day fashion complete with ’90s backdrop. This one lands at the end of the Series 1 checklist. Hill has another card in Series 2 that’s more traditional Stadium Club with a nice action shot. However, because this one came first, it gets the RC tag.

8. 1994-95 Ultra Grant Hill RC #239

As far as photography and design go, the 1994-95 Ultra Grant Hill Rookie Card is one of only a couple to take the filter away and let the action shine. Is it the most dynamic shot? No. But it is something simple and elegant.

7. 1994-95 Upper Deck Grant Hill RC #157

If you’re looking for personality on a Grant Hill Rookie Card, this is the one. The colorful background, while clearly a product of the ’90s, surprisingly holds up well today. And Upper Deck could always be counted on for a slick and classy design.

6. 1994-95 Jam Session Grant Hill RC #55

Let’s see here — there’s the oversized tall boy format that could be taken advantage of with a big dunk or magical pass. Instead we get Hill’s head resting on a basketball. For those who dig portraits, it’s not bad. But it doesn’t take full advantage of the larger canvas.

5. 1994-95 Embossed Grant Hill RC #103

Things get all touchy feely for this Grant Hill Rookie Card. 1994-95 Embossed was a one-and-done release from Topps that tried the Action Packed approach with embossed cards. It failed to really catch on as a brand. Like other draft picks, Hill’s card includes a foil background for some further pop.

4. 1994-95 Flair Grant Hill Rookie Card #213

One thing that not many of the Grant Hill Rookie Cards have is a good action photo. Flair has that as well as a second one that’s more in line with most of his other RCs. Slick, glossy stock, elegant foil and the dual-photo front make this one of Hill’s most attractive Rookies.

3. 1994-95 Emotion Grant Hill Rookie Card #28

Adjectives seem like an odd focal point for a sports card set. But that’s exactly the road that SkyBox travelled for 1994-95 Emotion. This Grant Hill Rookie Card has a mix of gloss and foil. And despite the full-bleed design, it’s a busy card as well. Whether it makes you feel pumped is a personal choice.

2. 1994-95 SP Grant Hill Rookie Card #3

When Upper Deck debuted, their base line was considered premium. But as their popularity rose, other companies caught up. It was an era of one-upsmanship that saw limits pushed (and price tags rise). For Upper Deck, that meant going further with the introduction of SP. The 1994-95 SP Grant Hill Rookie Card is highlighted by etched foil and a high-end feel few of his other early cards can match.

1. 1994-95 Finest Grant Hill Rookie Card #240

Back in 1994-95, autographs were still very much a rarity in the world of sports cards. Crazy jumbo patches were still in a mythical crystal ball. At the time, the shiny stuff was a high mark when it came to base cards. And that’s where the 1994-95 Finest Grant Hill Rookie Card comes in. By today’s standards, it’s not exactly fancy — probably mid-range at best. But back then, chromium was king. This was also an era when chrome cards were given an added protector film to help protect surfaces from scratching.

Overview

While he does not generally receive mainstream hobby love, Grant Hill rookie cards and memorabilia have a near-cult following, which ensures good values in the years to come. Hill is one of those players that does not carry superstar status, but almost everyone knows who he is and respects his game.

Despite his popularity and long career, Grant Hill had very few autographed cards until he was added to 2010-11 Panini products. He has also signed for Upper Deck products, so collectors should be able to find plenty of autograph options between the two brands.

While 1994-95 sets don't carry as much value as those issued later in the decade, card designs began to see significant changes. This allows for several great-looking Grant Hill rookie cards, and most still remain very affordable.

Grant Hill has 15 rookie cards that mostly fall in the low-budget category. However, three cards stand out at the top for collectors.

Gold and silver foil combine with a young Grant Hill to make a great rookie option for collectors. Although the gold and silver colors clash, the action image in the foreground makes Grant Hill seem to pop off the card.

1994-95 Flair Grant Hill RC #213

Grant Hill's Flair rookie card features a refined design that properly highlights the young rookie. The home and away jerseys utilized in the two images contrast nicely and the gold foil text adds a high-end touch.

Autograph Guide

Grant Hill Autographed Memorabilia Buying Guide

Below you will find an example of what Grant Hill's authentic signature looks like. This can be used as a first point of reference for determining the legitimacy of autograph memorabilia, but is not a substitute for having your items authenticated by a well respected professional autograph authentication company. Reputable authentication companies include JSA, PSA, Panini Authentic, Upper Deck Authentic, Tristar and Mounted Memories to name a few. 

Grant Hill Cut Signature Exemplar

Grant Hill Key Signature Attributes: An authentic Grant Hill signature autograph will exhibit several distinguishing characteristics, regardless of the item signed or when it was signed. Look for the following signature features:

1. Signed on a relatively even horizontal plane, the signature may exhibit a slight downward angle.
2. The letters lean to the right at about 50 degrees.
3. The letters "G" and "H" are the main component as many other letters are implied.
4. The letter "G" consists of two parts, made all in one pen stroke; the first part looks like a printed capital letter "M" and the other looks similar to a cursive capital "J."
5. Out of this letter is a line with a slight squiggle in it, implying the letters "r-a-n-t."
6. The pen continues into a letter "H" formed with two parallel lines. Again, the stroke appears like a cursive capital letter "J" as in the first name.
7. A dot is usually present implying the letter "i."
8. The letters "l-l" are not written.

Basketball | Kobe apologized to the Lakers.

In the two weeks since the NBA Draft, a number of important events have taken place in the Association that may affect the future course of the upcoming basketball season. This, of course, is about trades, signing free agents, and ... apologies from the stars.

Rashard Lewis in Orlando…

So, the transition of the most tasty morsel in the free agent market has taken place. Seattle has quietly announced that it will be building an entirely new team with forwards Kevin Durant and Jeff Green, who the team signed right after the draft. At the same time, Ray Allen was immediately exchanged to Boston, and Lewis was not initially considered by management as a leader around whom a team could be built.

And so Lewis moved to Orlando. The announcement of the trade followed yesterday, and in connection with this, some changes may occur in the composition of the "Magicians". The signing of Lewis could affect the position in the team of Darko Milicic, the progress of which is evident last season. The Serbian center can be intercepted by another team, and there will be no one in the Magic to insure Dwight Howard.

…and Grant Hill in Phoenix

Orlando veteran, as soon as Lewis appeared on the horizon, he realized that it was time to pack his bags, and moved from tropical Florida to the deserts of Arizona with cacti and coyotes. I wonder if Hill can fit into Mike d'Antoni's high-octane basketball? I really don't want Hill to end his career, like Jalen Rose. Another veteran spent the last championship with the Suns, but did not always even get into the squad for the game, and scored only two (!) points in 11 playoff matches. Hill's figures have also declined sharply with the arrival of Howard, but in any case, it all depends on the manager and the position that Grant will be entrusted with at the new club.

Bryant calmed down

The Lakers leader apologized for his behavior to management and teammates. Before that, Kobe demanded to be sold. Blaming partners (in particular, Andre Bynum) and head coach Phil Jackson for not trying hard enough for the team to win. In this regard, the super-defender was eager to move to another club that could win the playoffs.

Immediately after that, the Lakers became alarmed, having worked out several options for trades at once in the run-up to the draft. At the same time, Kobe was not on the exchange lists. On the contrary, the Lakers planned to buy a qualified player for him. However, so far these options have not passed, although one of them with Kevin Garnett was very real.

However, Bryant forced the situation by apologizing for his words. What's next for the Lakers? On the one hand, a major trade is likely in order to take Kobe (or rather, Phil Jackson) a qualified forward (read: the second Scotty Pippen). On the other hand, the attitude towards Kobe in the Lakers on the part of partners, management and fans can change dramatically in the direction with a minus sign. "Sport" will inform you about developments!

Auden is still in the shadows

Meanwhile, the attention of all sports America is riveted to the summer leagues, where local basketball fans are looking for the answer to the question: who is better - Auden or Durant? So far, judging by the first two league games in Las Vegas, the Seattle rookie looks better.

In the game with the truncated time format, Kevin looked much more interesting, demonstrating good mid and long shots. Oden, in the first match, was sent off for 10 personal remarks (the maximum number of violations for such competitions), and in the second match, Greg received nine fouls.

In this regard, it is worth recalling that once, in 1985, Portland also made a bet on the center, choosing Sam Bowie as the second number. The third pick in that draft was the representatives of the Chicago Bulls, taking Michael Jordan. In 2007, Portland, now picking the first pick in the draft, picks center again….
