Market outlook

Stable Outlook 6/10

Recent 30-day gains of +28.1% to $70 for graded 10, but high supply caps major appreciation; consistent low-volume sales.

Next months. Stable with minor fluctuations around $50-70 for gem mint grades

Long term. Holds steady value due to Robinson's legacy, potential mild growth with Spurs success

Collector notes

Condition. Check for edge wear, centering issues common in high-volume 1990s prints, surface scratches, and print defects on corners; focus on eye appeal for high grades.

Storage. Store in semi-rigid holders or top-loaders with sleeves in a cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent fading and warping.

Authenticity. Verify print quality, holofoil patterns if present, and compare to known raw examples; seek graded, graded, or graded grading for authentication as fakes are rare but check seller reputation.
