Featuring the NBA logo cut out of a player’s jersey, Logoman cards are some of the most sought after modern cards in the fandom. Panini’s 2020-21 Flawless release (10-card Hobby Boxes sell for approximately $15,000) includes five Triple Logoman cards, all numbered one by one, with each other Draymond Green/Stephen Curry/Klay Thompson, Anthony Edwards/LaMelo Ball/Tyrese Haliburton, Jayson Tatum/Luka Doncić/Zion Williamson Y Giannis Antetokounmpo/Kevin Durant/Curry.

The fifth card is the version of James that was just sold, encrusted with NBA logo patches from “worn/worn” jerseys from each of his three career teams: the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Los Angeles Lakers. .

“Usually it’s the older vintage cards that are very valuable,” Ken Goldin, founder and CEO of Goldin, told The Associated Press. “But there has never really been a card this popular before it was pulled out of a pack.”

Multiple outlets claimed that the James card would break records for both a modern sports and basketball card, both held by a parallel Upper Deck Exquisite LeBron James 2003-04 RPA (rookie autograph patch), numbered 23 , which sold for $5.2 million with the PWCC Marketplace in April 2021.

While some thought Triple Logoman could challenge the T206 Honus Wagner card that sold for a record $6.606 million in August, the market has ‘cooled off’ due to its pandemic-driven boom.
