1997–98 Upper Deck High Dimensions
Reference: PSA 9 copy 1880/2000 · submitted card is raw
PRELIMINARY RAW GUIDE · LOW CONFIDENCE
$190–$360
Preliminary raw guide · low confidence
An editorial starting range rounded around four market evidence raw records. Their original final amounts and condition were not independently confirmed. This is not a primary-verified sale range, a statistical interval or a forecast of this card's grade.
A broad editorial raw guide rounded around four attributed market evidence records: $197.50 on June 4, $189.49 on July 24, $295 on August 11 and $361.01 on August 23, 2026. The original market evidence pages checked for the July 24 and August 23 records redirected to a generic product page; the other two originals were not opened in this finite pass. Original final amounts, condition and shipping/fee bases are therefore unverified. The rounded $190–$360 band is a preliminary judgment around those records, not a statistical interval or a set of primary-verified sales. Neither graded auction below enters this raw guide.
Assumptions: Assumes an authentic, ungraded 1997–98 Upper Deck High Dimensions Kobe Bryant #HD8 /2000 with no substantial unreported damage or alteration. The submitted serial is 1096/2000. Photos do not establish a numerical grade or fully reveal surface and edge condition. Actual bids may fall outside this guide; compare an actual raw offer and all selling costs before deciding to grade. Source-record shipping and fee bases remain unknown.
Use $190–$360 as a low-confidence starting guide for the raw High Dimensions card, then refine it with condition and a real offer. A different PSA 9 copy sold for $492 including buyer's premium in August; an older PSA 8 auction totaled $156.78 in March. Those graded results are separate comparisons, not the raw card's value or proof that grading will pay.

Original raw transaction amounts independently verified
No matching Raw / ungraded transaction was verified in this research pass. Different grades or printings can inform research, but do not establish an exact-card sold price.
Review the evidence notes ↓The calculator starts at a hypothetical $250 raw alternative, $30 added grading cost and 13% selling fee. Grading then needs a gross sale of at least $284.49 to match the raw net. The $350 graded scenario is hypothetical; it does not predict a grade or use an auction's buyer-premium total as seller proceeds.
FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE
Raw guide inputs are secondary reported records: June 4, 2026 — $197.50; July 24 — $189.49; August 11 — $295; August 23 — $361.01. No original raw transaction was independently verified in this pass. These four attributed records inform the preliminary guide but remain outside the primary matching-sale count. The graded auction results below are a separate evidence group and are not raw guide inputs.
The raw record index was read on September 23, 2026. Original raw market evidence items 407149445993 (August 23) and 287478524472 (July 24, copy 1069/2000) redirected to a generic product page. The June 4 record identifies copy 1884/2000; its original and the August 11 original were not opened. None is presented as independently verified raw evidence. market evidence WA240 lot 3141F1 reports sold August 24; its August 23 Pacific closing description refers to the same auction. Pristine lot 11872905 reports a March 15 finish with timezone unspecified. Auction payment completion, shipping and taxes were not independently confirmed.
A secondary July 11 PSA 8 record at $266 is excluded from the raw guide and the primary graded evidence because its original item 168512284696 redirected. A $1,850 PSA 10 listing was ended because the item was no longer available; that is not a verified sale. Generic product-page active asks are excluded. Diamond Dimensions /100, UD3, 2008 Topps #24 and rookie issues are different cards. No population claim, numerical photo grade, grade probability, treatment recommendation or automatic serial-number premium is supplied.
THE GRADING DECISION
The $250 raw alternative and $350 graded sale are hypothetical editable scenarios, not verified sale amounts or grade predictions. The $30 incremental all-in grading cost and 13% selling fee are examples, not current quotes. Both routes use the same fee. The auction references include buyer's premium and are kept separate from these seller-gross inputs. This calculator does not predict a grade, a sale price or the chance of a grading outcome.
Raw net = raw gross × (1 − fee). Graded net = graded gross × (1 − fee) − added grading costs. Break-even graded gross = raw gross + added costs ÷ (1 − fee), rounded up to the next cent.
Fee is entered as a percentage. This comparison excludes the shared purchase cost of the card. Add every incremental grading cost above; other taxes and costs are not modeled.

A higher grade is not guaranteed. A card’s condition and matching graded sales still matter.
PULL ODDS
The stamp identifies this numbered High Dimensions edition. Applicable manufacturer pack odds and product quantities were not verified. The serial number alone does not establish a pack probability or a chance of pulling Kobe specifically.
SMALL DETAILS. DIFFERENT CARDS.
The submitted front and reverse visibly identify Kobe Bryant's 1997–98 Upper Deck High Dimensions #HD8, serial 1096/2000; the reverse shows HD8 and ©1997. This is not a rookie card. The independent market evidence front/reverse matches the design but is a different copy, 1880/2000, already graded PSA 9. Keep that reference grade separate from the raw card being assessed. Diamond Dimensions /100 and the later 2008 Topps #24 are different issues.
