Bgs Gem Mint Appraisal

2019-20 Panini Prizm Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Purple Prizm - BGS 9.5 Gem Mint

This is a 2019-20 Panini Prizm basketball card featuring NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in his Los Angeles Lakers uniform. The card is a 'Purple Prizm' parallel, characterized by its vibrant metallic purple border and intricate geometric background patterns typical of the Optichrome printing process. The card is encapsulated in a tamper-evident Beckett Grading Services (BGS) slab, which is a thick, clear acrylic holder. The grading label indicates a '9.5 Gem Mint' overall grade, with a gold label and a yellow sub-grade patch, signifying high-end technical quality. The item is displayed within a luxury 'Jersey Fusion: Legendary Collection' presentation box. The box features a white interior lid with red and gold branding and a recessed foam insert designed to hold the graded slab securely. The card itself appears to have excellent centering, sharp corners, and a clean surface without visible scratches or print lines, which is consistent with the 9.5 Gem Mint designation. This modern collectible pays tribute to one of basketball's greatest players using a high-demand contemporary design and professional authentication.
