Anthony Edwards, known as “AntMan” among his fans, has caused quite a stir in the basketball card market lately. The rising star of the Minnesota Timberwolves has witnessed a remarkable surge in the sales of his trading cards, with an impressive figure of nearly 30,000 cards being sold on eBay in the past three weeks alone. These sales have totaled to a staggering amount of over $3 million, marking a significant spike in the market value of collectibles related to the promising NBA player.
What’s even more eye-catching is that thirteen of Edwards’ cards have been sold for prices surpassing $10,000 each. Particularly noteworthy is the sale of a 2020 National Treasures Rookie Patch Autograph (RPA) card. Limited to just 99 copies and adorned with a rare PSA ’10’ autograph grade, this card went under the hammer for a whopping $30,000. Another remarkable sale was that of an NT RPA graded 9.5/10 by Beckett, which fetched an impressive amount of over $85,000 at a recent Goldin auction. Moreover, a game-worn jersey from Edwards’ rookie season attracted even higher bids, indicating the soaring demand for his memorabilia.
The overwhelming interest in Edwards’ collectibles is not only a reflection of their monetary value but also mirrors his outstanding performance on the basketball court. Despite being in just his fourth NBA season and not yet 23 years old, Edwards boasts an average of almost 23 points per game. His contributions have been instrumental in propelling the Timberwolves into a favorable position for a potentially extended playoff run. With such remarkable stats and an increasing visibility, Edwards’ profile has soared to new heights since he entered the NBA after a single year at the University of Georgia.
