Include Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo among the many who have an interest in the 1-of-1 Topps card that has autographs of future Basketball Hall of Famers LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant.
The card is in commemoration of the trio’s exploits at the 2024 Paris Olympics with Team USA. James, Curry, and Durant led the way for the Americans, who won the gold by going undefeated in the tournament and beating France in the finals.
On the Topps’ official Instagram account, the company noted that the Greek Freak said that he’s willing to shell out $150,000 to secure possession of the card from whoever is lucky enough to make the “pull.”
“Is Giannis a buyer on the triple auto?? 👀 In a recent IG video about the Steph/Bron/KD autograph card, known collector Giannis Antetokounmpo commented “150k I need that 🔥”. If you played pro ball, would you collect cards of your league-mates? 🤔”
Giannis Antetokounmpo has to dig deeper in his pocket if he wants to secure the card
Although $150,000 is a lot of money, it pales in comparison to what others are offering for the card. One shop in Tennessee is reportedly willing to pay $500,000 to gain possession of the said piece of cardboard.
Topps announced the details of the “triple-auto” of the card earlier this month (h/t Dave McMenamin of ESPN).
“This card pays tribute to the incredible moment that we saw during the Olympics where three of the greatest active basketball players combined to take home the gold medal,” Clay Luraschi, senior vice president of product at Topps, told ESPN. “This particular card is special because you have your regular version and then you have an autograph version. There’s been many different autograph cards throughout basketball trading card history, but this is the first time these three players have signed the same card. So, it makes it very unique.”
