This card features an NBA logman capture, from a Maverick jersey worn by Doncic, with a blue ink signature




Dallas Mavericks star Luke Doncic quickly established himself as one of the NBA's biggest attractions in a short period of time. A recent example is the extraordinary Doncic rookie card sold on Sunday for more money than any NBA card ever had.


The card - which was trying to raise $ 4.6 million in the open market - included the capture of the NBA logomania, from a Mavericks jersey worn by Doncic, and a signature in blue ink. It was the only card made of that particular type.


Doncic's card originally appeared on the 2018-19 Panini National Treasure Basketball trading card box and was unveiled during a live break at the Layton Sports Card store in Altamonte Springs, Fla. The card was eventually sold to collector Bolillo Lajan San. It is unclear what he paid in the first place, even though TMZ Sports claims San paid more than $ 400,000 on the card.


On Sunday, the San sold Doncic's very small card to top collector Nick Fiorella for $ 4.6 million. Not a bad investment on San’s side.


This Doncic card isn’t just the most expensive NBA card - the second-highest purchase of any sports trading card in history. Only the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card was sold for more ($ 5.2 million). Prior to the sale of the Mantle card, the previous record was a 2009 Mike Trout rookie card that sold for $ 3.9 million.


Doncic has a chance to be in the conversation between regular greats if he continues with his current track. If that ends up being the case, Fiorella's price could go up significantly.
