Wilson Jet basketball, official size, rubber
A basic Wilson rubber outdoor basketball, the kind found in garages and school gym bags. Value hinges on whether it still holds air, the pebbling is intact, and the size stamp is legible.
Estimated resale range (used)
$12 – $30
A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it
- Bounce it and squeeze it to check the bladder holds air and the seams are tight
- Check the surface for bald, shiny patches where the rubber has worn smooth
- Look for the size and inflation markings to confirm it is a full-size ball
Where the number comes from
Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.
Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
