2003 Upper Deck Game Jersey #AGJ18 Yao Ming PSA 7 Auto 10 – Rookie-Era Auto with Game-Worn Swatch 

By 2003, Yao Ming had already made waves as a transcendent talent and global icon. Drafted first overall in 2002, Yao quickly proved he was more than just hype—he became a dominant force in the paint, a perennial All-Star, and the player who opened the NBA to a worldwide audience, particularly in China. His presence reshaped the league’s international reach, and his humble demeanor combined with towering skill earned him respect across the basketball world.

This 2003 Upper Deck Game Jersey #AGJ18 is a special early-career piece that pairs an on-card Yao Ming autograph (graded a perfect PSA 10) with an authentic game-worn jersey swatch. It captures the excitement and potential of Yao’s rookie years in a beautifully designed Upper Deck release. The card itself received a PSA 7 grade, but still presents well with vibrant coloring, clean auto placement, and strong overall eye appeal.

For collectors of rookie-era autographs, game-used memorabilia, or international basketball legends, this card is a rare and meaningful piece. It honors not only Yao Ming’s impact on the court, but also his role in transforming the NBA into a truly global game. A perfect choice for those who appreciate history, heritage, and hardcourt greatness.
