The value of a Magic Johnson basketball card can vary widely depending on several factors such as the card’s year, condition, rarity, and whether it is autographed or part of a special edition. Here are some general price ranges:
1. 1980-81 Topps Magic Johnson Rookie Card (101): This is one of the most well-known and valuable Magic Johnson cards. The value can range:
– Graded 10 (Gem Mint): This card can sell for around $100,000 or more.
– Graded 9 (Mint): Prices can range from $5,000 to $15,000.
– Lower Grades: For cards in lower conditions (such as graded 6 or 7), the price may be between $500 and $2,000.
2. Autographed Cards: If the card is an autographed version, its value can increase significantly, especially for rare versions or if it’s from a limited series. Signed rookie cards or special edition cards can easily range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand, depending on rarity and the certification of the signature.
3. Other Magic Johnson Cards: Cards from various other sets and years (such as the 1984-85 Fleer set or limited edition releases) can range in price from a few dollars for ungraded, common cards, to several hundred or even thousand dollars for rare, well-graded versions.
If you’re looking for an accurate price, it’s best to check online auction platforms like eBay, or consult professional grading services (such as PSA or Beckett) to see recent sales for similar cards.
