Anthony Edwards, also known by his affectionate nickname “AntMan,” is making significant waves in the basketball card market with his explosive increase in the sales of trading cards. The young star from the Minnesota Timberwolves has witnessed nearly 30,000 cards sold on eBay in just the last three weeks, accumulating a total of close to $3 million in sales, showcasing his growing popularity among collectors and fans alike.
The surge in interest around Edwards has led to some remarkable sales figures, with thirteen of his cards fetching prices exceeding $10,000 each. Particularly noteworthy is a 2020 National Treasures Rookie Patch Autograph (RPA) card, limited to just 99 copies and featuring a PSA ’10’ autograph grade, which recently sold for an impressive $30,000. Another standout sale includes an NT RPA graded 9.5/10 by Beckett, commanding over $85,000 at a recent Goldin auction. Moreover, a game-worn jersey from Edwards’ rookie year fetched even higher bids, illustrating the strong market demand for his memorabilia.
Edwards’ appeal in the collectibles market is further underscored by his dominance on the list of most-watched basketball card auctions on eBay. This heightened attention is not only a testament to the value of his sports memorabilia but also reflects 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 and has played a pivotal role in positioning the Timberwolves for a potential extended playoff run. His remarkable stats and increasing visibility have propelled his profile to new heights since entering the NBA after a single year at the University of Georgia.
