The 1997-98 Metal Universe Precious Metal Gems are landmark parallels that have become some of the most coveted of all-time. Each player on the 125-card checklist has 100 total PMGs. However, only the first 10 come a green background. The remaining 90 are red. So don't let the /100 fool you. Only 10% carry the emerald pop.
At this point, it doesn't matter the player or condition. 1997-98 Metal Universe PMGs are hobby icons. That said, Dennis Rodman is a legendary Hall of Famer and one of the best defenders ever, not to mention a larger-than-life personality off the court.
Typically, 1997-98 PMGs suffer from chipping caused by the edge-to-edge foil. That makes top-grade copies exceptionally scarce. Graded a NM-MT 8, this Rodman is a pop 1 with none higher making it one of the premier copies of one of The Worm's most important basketball cards.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 04/23/2026.
