Market outlook

Stable Outlook 6/10

Consistent low-to-mid value sales with minor fluctuations in gem mint grades; abundant supply caps upside despite enduring Spurs/ROY nostalgia[2][3][4][5].

Next months. Stable with graded 10 range $50-80 amid collector interest.

Long term. Stable to slight rise if Spurs success continues, but unlikely to exceed $100 ungraded/lower grades.

Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering issues, edge wear, corner chipping, and print defects common in high-volume 1990s Hoops production; surface scratches on glossy finish.

Storage. Store in semi-rigid top loaders or magnetic holders, away from sunlight/heat/humidity; use team bags for ungraded copies.

Authenticity. Examine 'Rookie of the Year' banner alignment and Spurs logo sharpness; fakes rare but check against graded population reports; prefer graded by graded/graded/graded.
