Description
2005 Upper Deck SP Game Used Yao Ming (By the Letter) #BL-YM PSA NM 7 - #'d 3/3 - Pop One, None Higher! The 2005 Upper Deck SP Game Used By the Letter Yao Ming #BL-YM is an ultra-rare memorabilia card honoring one of the most impactful international stars in NBA history. Serial numbered 3/3 and graded PSA NM 7, this card features a large game-used letter "O" patch-white with bold red trim-cut directly from Yao's Houston Rockets nameplate and centered in a vertical die-cut window. The card is part of the exclusive "By the Letter" insert set, where each letter in the player's last name was produced in extremely limited quantities, making full nameplate sets nearly impossible to assemble and each individual letter a prized piece on its own.Yao Ming, an eight-time All-Star and global ambassador for the game, helped bridge the NBA to a worldwide audience and brought unprecedented attention to basketball in China. His combination of size, skill, and grace made him a dominant force in the paint, and his legacy continues to influence the league internationally. This card, with its premium layout and game-worn authenticity, serves as a fitting tribute to Yao's significance both on and off the court. The scarcity, visual appeal, and strong career connection make it a true collector's gem. Limited edition - #3/3. One of one graded NM with none higher.
