The basketball card that rapper and NBA superfan, Drake spent at least $200,000 trying to find — the 2020-21 Panini Flawless Triple Logoman LeBron James card, numbered one-of-one — sold at auction over the weekend with collectibles marketplace Goldin for $2.4 million, including buyer’s premium.
Logoman cards, which feature the NBA logo cut from a player’s jersey, are some of the most sought-after modern cards in the hobby.
Panini’s 2020-21 Flawless release (10-card Hobby boxes are selling for roughly $15,000), it includes five Triple Logoman cards, all numbered one-of-one, among them a Draymond Green/Stephen Curry/Klay Thompson, Anthony Edwards/LaMelo Ball/Tyrese Haliburton, Jayson Tatum/Luka Doncic/Zion Williamson and Giannis Antetokounmpo/Kevin Durant/Curry.
The fifth card is the James version that just sold, embedded with NBA logo patches from “game-worn/used” jerseys from each of his three career teams: the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers.
