Anthony Edwards, also known by his affectionate nickname “AntMan,” is not just lighting up the basketball court but also setting the trading card market on fire. The young and promising star from the Minnesota Timberwolves has witnessed a remarkable surge in the sales of his trading cards, demonstrating his growing influence as a collectible powerhouse. In the past three weeks alone, nearly 30,000 of Edwards’ cards have been sold on eBay, accumulating an impressive total of over $3 million in sales.
The escalating interest in Edwards’ cards is evidenced by the remarkable prices some of them have commanded. Among the sales, thirteen of his cards have fetched prices surpassing $10,000 each. Particularly noteworthy is the sale of a 2020 National Treasures Rookie Patch Autograph (RPA) card, limited to only 99 copies and boasting a PSA ’10’ autograph grade, which recently sold for a substantial $30,000. Another standout sale includes an NT RPA graded 9.5/10 by Beckett, which fetched an impressive sum of over $85,000 at a Goldin auction last week. Additionally, a game-worn jersey from Edwards’ rookie year garnered even higher bids, emphasizing the strong market demand for memorabilia associated with the rising NBA star.
Edwards’ dominance is not limited to sales figures alone, as he also commands attention on the list of most-watched basketball card auctions on eBay. This surge of interest is a testament not only to the value of his sports memorabilia but also to his stellar performance on the basketball court. Despite being in just his fourth NBA season and not yet 23 years old, Edwards boasts an impressive average of nearly 23 points per game, playing a pivotal role in positioning the Timberwolves for a potentially extended playoff run. His stellar stats and increasing prominence have propelled his profile to new heights since entering the NBA after a single year at the University of Georgia.
