The most sought-after basketball card of 2022 — a 2020-21, 1-of-1 Panini Flawless Triple Logoman LeBron James — sold at auction Saturday night for $2.4 million, culminating a year-long chase.
The card received national media coverage and even caught the attention of rapper Drake, who spent upwards of $200,000 in an effort to find the card. It was pulled on a live stream by three card collectors in May.
In addition to being the only card of its kind in existence, the card features NBA logo patches from game-worn jerseys from each of James’ teams, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers.
There are four other Triple Logoman cards that feature a trio of NBA players: Stephen Curry/Klay Thompson/Draymond Green, Jayson Tatum/Luka Doncic/Zion Williamson, Giannis Antetokoumpo/Steph Curry/Kevin Durant, and 2020 draftees Anthony Edwards/LaMelo Ball/Tyrese Haliburton.
Though the card sold for $2.4 million, some had projected it would go for more than the 2003-04 Upper Deck Exquisite LeBron James, which set the record for highest-priced basketball card in April when it sold for $5.2 million.
In addition to the Logoman card, an Exquisite LeBron RPA card was also sold Saturday for $2.1 million.
