No one would have thought Jordan Poole would be this good at this point in time, including the Golden State Warriors. Just a few years ago, the young guard would be limited to a reserve role and play out his minutes for a struggling Dubs team that didn’t have Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson in […]

Every year, there are bound to be several rookies who would find themselves on the biggest stage of them all in the NBA – the playoffs.

While last year’s Draft Class isn’t as strong as those in 1996, 2003, or even 2018, it can’t be denied that certain young stars from that year are defying expectations right now. Anthony Edwards, for example, is on his way to his first playoff appearance and looks to have a great future ahead of him […]

After being out of the Golden State Warriors’ lineup for more than two seasons, Klay Thompson finally made his triumphant return earlier this year. Since then, the Splash Brother has made a pretty good case in reminding everyone why he’s a credible threat from all three levels of the court. But as great as his […]

Right before the regular season began, there was a lot of doubt revolving around the Philadelphia 76ers. For one, the Ben Simmons saga had everyone thinking that Philly won’t be the same juggernaut they were before and the load on Joel Embiid’s shoulders will be too much. But as fate would have it, the Sixers […]

Hitting that one Rookie Logoman of any top star in the NBA right now is the dream for basketball card collectors everywhere.

It can’t be denied that a lot of fans dismissed Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics early in the season. Of course, it made sense to do so after the team fell in the East after going under .500. But then, something special started after the new year and carried over until the All-Star Game […]

After several weeks of speculation, NBA Top Shot officially announced on Monday that they have struck a deal with Golden State Warriors superstar Klay Thompson to be the brand’s next player-partner.

Even though their respective teams are languishing at the bottom, Cade Cunningham and Jalen Green are exceeding expectations on the court.

Almost a year ago, Logan Paul wore a graded Charizard card on his neck right before he faced Floyd Mayweather in the ring.

The hype for LeBron James’ epic Triple Logoman has definitely gone insane.

That’s why when “news” broke out that the epic card of […]

In less than a month, Drake has gone on a spending spree that belittles what almost every sports card collector has amassed during their entire lives.

On paper, the addition of Russell Westbrook to the Los Angeles Lakers should have been the perfect move. After a season rehabbing his reputation with the Washington Wizards, the Brodie joined LeBron James and Anthony Davis to chase the franchise’s 18th championship ring. The thing is, the front office chose to go for star power […]

Early this season, Paul George was playing great basketball even without Kawhi Leonard in the lineup. As a result, the Los Angeles Clippers remained competitive in the West. But as fate would have it, PG13 would suffer a torn ACL in his right elbow, an injury that has kept him out for the last three […]

Without a doubt, the biggest name in both soccer and its corresponding sports card market is no other than Lionel Messi.

Ever since Drake came out and flexed an insane stack of Panini’s latest Flawless basketball card cases, the hype for Logoman cards in the hobby has really flown off.

It isn’t every day you get to be just a few steps away from LeBron James. For most fans, the first thing that needs to be done is get a picture with the King himself. Others would even go to great lengths and do crazy stuff just to get the attention of the Los Angeles […]

After quite a long time, the Golden State Warriors every knows, the one with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green in it, finally returned on the court earlier this year.

There are only a handful of athletes who have broken the million-dollar mark in the sports cards industry.

But […]

With prices of basic commodities ever on the rise, it sometimes makes sense to go for low-end card products in the hobby than their more expensive counterparts.

There’s no denying that LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have been underwhelming the whole season.

Even without a Hall of Fame-level star within their ranks, the San Antonio Spurs have played their hearts out all season long.

Drake’s recent $200,000 Flawless binge hunt for the elusive Triple Logoman has placed the spotlight on this wicked card.

With the hobby’s attention being focused more […]

It wasn’t long ago when Shohei Ohtani was the hottest name in the MLB card market and the Atlanta Braves won the 2021 World Series. But during the offseason, things were a little quiet in this part of the hobby. The thing is, the new season is just around the corner and the hype for […]

The Detroit Pistons aren’t exactly the hottest team in the NBA right now, nor are they the preference of card collectors in the market. After languishing in the middle for so long, Motor City has decided to break it all down by trading Blake Griffin and other key pieces a couple of years ago to […]
