Anthony Edwards, affectionately known as “AntMan,” is not only making waves on the basketball court but also in the collectibles market. The young star from the Minnesota Timberwolves has seen a phenomenal surge in the sales of his trading cards, with a staggering total of nearly 30,000 cards sold on eBay in just the last three weeks, amassing over $3 million in sales. This explosive increase in interest highlights the growing market value associated with this promising NBA player.
Among these impressive sales figures, thirteen of Edwards’ cards have garnered prices surpassing $10,000 each. Noteworthy is the recent sale of a 2020 National Treasures Rookie Patch Autograph (RPA) card, limited to a mere 99 copies and sporting a PSA ’10’ autograph grade, which fetched an impressive $30,000. Another standout sale was an NT RPA graded 9.5/10 by Beckett, commanding a remarkable sum of over $85,000 at a Goldin auction just last week. Furthermore, a game-worn jersey from Edwards’ rookie season drew even higher bids, indicating the robust market demand for memorabilia associated with this rising star.
The widespread interest in Edwards is evident not only in the realm of sports memorabilia but also through his dominant presence on the list of most-watched basketball card auctions on eBay. This heightened attention is a testament not only to the increasing value of his collectibles but also to his outstanding performance on the basketball court. Now approaching his fourth NBA season and at not even 23 years old yet, Edwards boasts an impressive average of nearly 23 points per game and has played a pivotal role in propelling the Timberwolves towards a potential deep playoff run. His remarkable stats and growing prominence have propelled his stature to new heights since entering the NBA following just a single year at the University of Georgia.
