When James Harden entered the NBA more than a decade ago, no one expected him to rise through the ranks and become the player he is today. After significant stints with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets, the Bearded One will soon play a full season for the Brooklyn Nets.
Before he starts his championship run with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, collectors should load up on James Harden cards that have him in a Nets Jersey. We take a look below at five jaw-dropping cards of the Beard in his latest uniform.
Select Company Gold /10
Without a doubt, Harden is part of the select few in the league right now who can elevate any squad to instant contenders. His elite playmaking, shot creation, and ball-handling skills instantly generate a kind of offense no opponent can truly prepare for.
The same thought applies to Panini’s latest Select set and its Select Company insert. This particular James Harden parallel is numbered to 10 copies, making it a must-have for hobbyists who collect the Beard. Upon the last checking, its $500 value on eBay makes this pull a good one to have.
Crown Royale Kaboom
If something about a card works, more often than not, it’s going to spawn over and over again. That’s the case with Panini’s Kaboom insert because it’s an eye-catching card that will make any collection look good in an instant. Add James Harden in his Nets’ jersey you’ve got a keeper on your hands.
The card’s distinct look, paired with Harden’s intense profile, is definitely a looker. This is true, especially when it’s encased in a PSA or BGS slab, which will make its value skyrocket. Meanwhile, raw copies are currently going for $600 in the market right now.
Select Courtside Gold /10
For some collectors, Select is the absolute king of chrome-based sports cards. As compared to Prizm and Optic, its base cards – Concourse, Premiere, and Courtside – are much better. Of the three, Courtside level cards from Panini’s Select are the rarest.
Of course, when you pull a Gold parallel of this card that’s numbered to 10 with Harden on it, that’s a different matter altogether. The card’s striking design and short-print status look good, especially with an MVP-level guard on it. No wonder it recently reached $1,200 on eBay recently.
Impeccable 14k Gold /10
While a gold parallel card is something to see, one with an actual gold bar is surely miles better. This is what sets Panini’s Impeccable set apart from the competition because it offers this kind of card to collectors.
That’s why the James Harden card from this particular product is a winner. Apart from containing a gold bar in it, it’s also numbered to 10 copies. This makes it harder to find and much more valuable to own. As of this moment, a copy sold on the market for $1,300.
Select En Fuego One of One
At first sight, most collectors would scratch their heads wondering what this En Fuego insert is. Essentially, it means ‘On Fire’ in Spanish, which would be really apt for someone of Harden’s caliber in the NBA.
The same goes for this Select En Fuego One of One James Harden card. Its fiery look goes well with the Beard’s new Brooklyn threads, making this card a stunner when held in hand. It’s easy to see this card shooting up from its present value of $2,000.
With the new season about to begin in a few months, tons of cards featuring Harden in his new Nets uniform will come out. Before that happens, better get your hands on these cards while they’re still hot.
