Which Yang Hansen card is the real rookie card
Topps holds the NBA card license for his 2025-26 rookie season (Checklist Insider says Topps reacquired it, officially replacing Panini on October 1, 2025), so his licensed RCs are Topps issues: Topps #216, Topps Chrome #266, Bowman #16 and Bowman Chrome BCV-16, and Topps Chrome Update #166. He signs in Topps products: Topps Chrome Autographs Rookies, Flagship Real One Rookie Autographs, Bowman Chrome Autographs and a 1/1 Topps Chrome Update NBA Debut Patch Autograph.

Grading Yang Hansen cards
A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) or BGS 9.5 is the top grade most collectors look for; it means sharp corners, clean edges, centered printing and an unmarked surface. A graded card and a raw one are different cards to look up.
How PSA, CGC and Beckett grade
PSA
- Top grades:
- Gem Mint 10, then Mint 9 and NM-MT 8.
- Half grades:
- 1.5 through 8.5 since February 2008; there is no PSA 9.5.
One overall grade on the label. Centering weighs heavily in it.
CGC
- Top grades:
- Pristine 10 (virtually flawless, 50/50 centering), then Gem Mint 10 and Mint+ 9.5.
- Half grades:
- Yes, from Fair 1.5 up to Mint+ 9.5.
Authentic (AU) for a genuine card that cannot take a number; Authentic Altered (AA) for one that was altered.
Source: CGC grading scale
Beckett (BGS)
- Top grades:
- Pristine 10; a Black Label Pristine 10 has a 10 in all four subgrades.
- Half grades:
- Yes, 1 to 10 in half points.
Four subgrades on the label: centering, corners, edges and surface.

How to identify your Yang Hansen card and check what it sold for
- Find the year and maker on the back of your Yang Hansen card, and the card number, usually top or bottom on the back.
- Check the front and back for a serial number (for example 23/99) and for a colored or patterned finish: those mark a parallel, which is a different card from the base version.
- Look for the RC logo or the word Rookie. A card from before the first pro season, such as a Bowman 1st or a college card, is a prospect card, not a rookie card.
- Note any grade on the slab label (PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC). A raw card and a graded one are different listings.
- Search sold listings for that exact year, set, number, parallel and grade. What a card sold for is a better guide than any asking price.
Check Yang Hansen rookie cards in eBay's sold listings or eBay's price guide for that exact card.
