RARE SIMPLICITY
The Item: LeBron James 2019-20 Panini Contenders Optic Uniformity Gold (/10)
The Price: $2,938 after 28 bids (ends tonight)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This isn't the flashiest card and there's no autograph or memorabilia here, but it's an A-lister on a color that's perhaps perfect for his team with good timing (NBA Finals) and some super scarcity from a brand that's getting plenty of attention. It's also a perfect example of how the NBA market can be these days ... a little nutty, maybe a little unbelievable but the market is for real. (And people are buying the boxes and other notable cards across the board to prove it.) Will this one jump up even more before it ends? Probably, but you never know -- I've been known to put curses on cards showing them here, too.
