June 21, 2021 By Rich Mueller

It's no secret that prices for some of the hobby's most popular modern era cards have dipped significantly since reaching peaks during the first four months of the year.

An Iconic Meeting: Kobe Bryant and 1996-97 Topps Chrome

January 26, 2021 By Emile Avanessian

There are four sets of basketball cards from the twentieth century that stand above the rest.   The first, 1961-62 Fleer, boasts the rookie cards of four of the NBA’s inner-circle greats – Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor and Oscar Robertson – as well as that of fellow Hall of Famer Lenny Wilkens. The set also contains the first major, post-rookie issue … [Read more...] about An Iconic Meeting: Kobe Bryant and 1996-97 Topps Chrome

2003-04 Topps Chrome Rookie Refractor LeBron James

He arrived in the midst of an explosion of autographed jersey cards and multiple manufacturers,  but when you consider the hottest LeBron James rookie cards --it's sometimes more fun to dig beyond that 2003-04 debut season. When it comes to LeBron, it's not always his rookie cards that are the most popular with collectors. Some prefer the dual-signed … [Read more...] about 100 Hottest LeBron James Rookie Cards on eBay Now

Damian Lillard Rookie Card Rundown, Hottest Auctions

August 15, 2020 By Rich Mueller

He's always been highly respected among those who know the game but sometimes it takes players several years to truly be appreciated.  Damian Lillard rookie cards may still be flying a little below the radar compared to some of the NBA's young stars and annual MVP candidates.  It's not a question anymore about whether he's building a Hall of Fame case.  It's just … [Read more...] about Damian Lillard Rookie Card Rundown, Hottest Auctions

List of Six-Figure Basketball Cards Growing

February 21, 2019 By Rich Mueller

Basketball cards were once so lightly regarded that the only company that made them decided to take a pass, even when Larry Bird and Magic Johnson were young, Michael Jordan was an explosive rookie and Dr. J was still flying high and winning titles.   That pendulum swung back in the 1990s, though, and now the sport with worldwide appeal is building a pretty … [Read more...] about List of Six-Figure Basketball Cards Growing

Kyrie Irving Rookie Cards Proved Worth the Wait

February 13, 2017 By Darren Smythe

2012-13 National Treasures Kyrie Irving autographed patch card

His talent was once a little hard for fans and collectors to judge.  Kyrie Irving’s rookie cards would have been a bit of a mystery had they been distributed in a traditional fashion five seasons ago. A labor dispute put his cardboard arrival on hold but those who jumped in quickly once they finally arrived have been rewarded.  Duke and Done Irving was born in … [Read more...] about Kyrie Irving Rookie Cards Proved Worth the Wait

1973-74 Topps Basketball Set Low on Rookies; High on HOFers

February 28, 2016 By Bob D'Angelo

The 1973-74 Topps Basketball set may never measure up to the sets produced during the golden age of basketball cards — the emergence of 1980s stars Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, followed by Michael Jordan, was a big turning point for collectors. But the set gave basketball card collectors another taste of the two-league war being waged by the NBA and the upstart ABA, … [Read more...] about 1973-74 Topps Basketball Set Low on Rookies; High on HOFers

Best Vintage Hoops Bargain? 1972-73 Has Doc, HOF Horde

February 19, 2016 By Rich Mueller

Topps basketball 1972-73 box

The Doctor was in and so was the Zen Master.  The ABA was back.  Wheaties were in the mix and Wilt tipped it all off.  The 1972-73 Topps Basketball set is a gold mine of 70s hoop goodness, even if some of the players still had their shirts on backwards. After pushing out a 233-card issue in 1971, Topps kicked it up another notch in ’72 with a tidy, 264-card … [Read more...] about Best Vintage Hoops Bargain? 1972-73 Has Doc, HOF Horde
