Two youngsters, a pair of still youthful veterans and one guy who debuted when portable CD players were still hot top the list of the top selling trading cards of NBA All-Stars this season.
The struggles of the Los Angeles Lakers apparently haven’t diluted interest in LeBron James cards. The 37-year old has been the top selling player on eBay all season, according to eBay data.
So far this season, over $20 million worth of James cards have sold on the platform, although the top selling card features another NBA icon. A 2003 Upper Deck SP Authentic James/Michael Jordan dual autograph card graded PSA 10 sold for $102,000 on December 10.
Twelve LeBron cards have sold for $30,000 or more since the start of the NBA season, according to eBay’s Terapeak research. Since the start of the season, users have purchased over 140,000 of his cards for over $18 million.
Here’s the list of the top 5 players whose cards sold the most from December 1 through February 16:
James’ trading cards sales have been 127% higher than Kevin Durant from December 1 to mid-February.
According to Terapeak, over 84,000 Morant cards have sold on eBay since the start of the regular season in October for a total of over $9.6 million. Among his highest selling cards was the $41,000 one buyer shelled out for a 2019-20 Panini Prizm Gold Shimmer Rookie card numbered to 10 and graded PSA 9.
Over 68,000 Ball cards have sold since the opening tip of the season for over $7.6 million as more cards of last season’s Rookie of the Year hit the market.
Four Ball cards have sold for over $40,000, topped by the October 28 sale of a 2020-21 National Treasures Rookie Patch Autograph numbered to 99 and graded BGS 9/10 (auto) at $50,100.
There have been over 33,000 cards sold of Antetokounmpo, who won the NBA Finals MVP after leading the Milwaukee Bucks to the championship. The top seller was a 2013-14 Prizm Red, White and Blue parallel rookie card graded BGS 10 (Black Label) at $45,000.
