One of the most sought-after cards in 2015-16 Panini Immaculate Collection has been found -- in a case of 2015-16 Panini Flawless.
Last month, a collector discovered the Kristaps Porzingis Flawless logoman 1/1 in a box of Immaculate and at that time Panini America said it had mistakenly swapped the cards and that the Immaculate 1/1 would be placed into Flawless, the company's most-premium NBA product.
The hunt for that notable card ended this weekend as it was found by a BlowoutCards.com customer, Anthony from New York, inside a Flawless briefcase.

Honus Wagner & LeBron James set new records on auction block

There's no formal record book, but Honus Wagner and LeBron James are helping write it.
A pair of sports cards set sales records Saturday night in a Goldin Auctions event -- a PSA 5 (MC) copy of Wagner's iconic T206 baseball card and a modern-day Upper Deck creation from King James' rookie year also graded and slabbed by PSA.
"The demand for rare, high-grade vintage cards has exploded so we were confident that there would be some eye-popping results and new record prices established," said Ken Goldin, the founder of Goldin Auctions. "Every time one of these rare collectibles is offered for auction, serious collectors realize that it may be the last time for a long time. The booming market for high-grade rare trading cards, coupled with the limited supply, created the perfect storm for these remarkable prices."
