To price a basketball card, identify the player, year, set, card number, parallel, serial number, condition, and grade, then compare only to recent sold comps for the exact same version. Basketball markets move on injury news, playoff runs, and trade headlines, so the last 14 days of comps matter more than the last 60. MaxBid AI runs this filter from a card photo in under 10 seconds and returns a comp-backed max bid.
