Grant Williams, Luka Doncic’s former teammate, chose the right day to begin his basketball card collection.
Williams shocked the sports card community on Friday by pulling one of the most valued Doncic rookie cards available.
The former Dallas Mavericks player paid $10,500 for a box of 2018-19 Panini National Treasures. The set is regarded as the most valuable among modern-day cards. Doncic is by far the most sought-after athlete from the 2018-19 season, and his rookie patch autographs (RPA) command six-figure prices.
While at a convention, Williams told the story of how he pulled the card – a Doncic RPA numbered to 10. Such a card is worth at least $100,000, but Williams believes he’s received bids far exceeding that.
“Someone offered me $300,000 already before I even got it graded,” Williams claimed. “Another individual offered $250,000.” “Another individual offered $500,000.” Williams stated that he is not accepting any of the offers because he wants Doncic to have the “right of first refusal.” The Charlotte Hornets winger stated that Doncic “would buy this for like a million.”
Those that open a 10-card box of National Treasures are generally considered fortunate to receive their money back. On Friday, Williams appeared to have all the luck in
The entire world.
It’s interesting that Williams, of all people, pulled the card, given that he was supposedly dealt to the Hornets last season after the Mavericks were “fed up” with his continuous yapping.
