Dozens of Zion Williamson cards have now sold for $2,000 and up on eBay alone in the last five weeks and he still doesn’t have a licensed card showing him in his New Orleans Pelicans uniform.
Zionmania figures to hang around for a bit unless he struggles with his transition to the NBA once the season begins.
Yardbarker.com caught up with one buyer who opened a lot of packs before finally landing one of his signed rookie cards.
One of the best cards in Topps’ recently released 2019 Luminaries baseball product was still out there, waiting to be discovered…until this week.
Each box has one card and they’re on eBay for $200-$250.
Check out the box one collector was lucky enough to have opened by Jaspy’s Case Breaks:
A Texas store owner who sold sports memorabilia, fan gear and cards has some angry customers who say he took their money and has now disappeared.
They told KPRC-TV in Houston the problems with R&A Sports and owner Rich Mendenhall started when they ordered some special Astros items following the 2017 World Series championship.
Fans from as far away as Virginia ordered items advertised by the shop in Conroe, TX, but say they still haven’t gotten them. Others turned over their own items and cash after Mendenhall said he had a deal to get them autographed.
That didn’t happen either.
KPRC reported in front of the store which is now empty. You can watch their story here.
Sports Cards Plus in San Antonio was burglarized earlier this year and so far, there’s been no arrest.
The long-time San Antonio shop and Crime Stoppers are still offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of this person who broke in and stole a large number of cases and boxes from the shop.

NBA Auctions is offering autographed basketballs, photos and caps from the 2018 draft class.
Dozens of signed items are up for grabs including those signed by Rookie of the Year Luka Doncic, Trae Young, Deandre Ayton, Kevin Knox, Jaren Jackson and other players. Most were signed during the NBA Rookie Photo shoot in August of last year.
The auctions will close at various times over the next couple of weeks on the NBA Auctions website.
Here’s a fun blast from the past… a 1980 UPI wire photo of the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card. The caption touts the value of the card at the time, which was a shocking $2,000. For a baseball card? You’ve got to be kidding!
At the time, a lot of people still weren’t aware that vintage baseball cards were popular and starting to become pretty valuable, although we sure wish we would have cobbled together the $2,000 to buy one.
