In 1998 the original owner paid $15 for 1 box and pulled this epic card. Talk about a home run!

On auction is the highly collectible 1998 Metal Universe Precious Metal Gems featuring Dennis Rodman from his iconic Chicago Bulls era, graded BGS 8.5 NMMT+. 

Rodman’s PMGs are prized for their bold metallic foil finish and very low population at high grades — examples like an 8.5 are especially tough to find due to the extreme condition sensitivity. 

This BGS 8.5 Rodman represents a sweet spot: visually attractive, well-centered with 9.5 centering, and has excellent registration all while showcasing him in an epic dunking pose.

Long-term impact

• 1998 PMGs helped define what a modern “grail card” looks like.

• Today, original 1997–1998 PMGs are considered some of the most valuable non-autograph cards ever made, especially in high grade.

• Modern card companies still reference PMGs when creating limited, serial-numbered inserts.

In short:
The 1998 Precious Metal Gems /50 represent a turning point in card collecting—where rarity, design, and star power came together to create cards that are still legendary decades later.
