Grant Williams, a former teammate of Luka Doncic, chose the ideal day to begin collecting basketball cards.
When Williams pulled one of the most valuable Doncic rookie cards available on Friday, the sports card community took notice.
For $10,500, the former forward for the Dallas Mavericks purchased a box of 2018–19 Panini National Treasures. For current cards, the set is regarded as the most valuable available. Doncic is by far the biggest pursue player from the 2018–19 box, and his rookie patch autographs (RPA) routinely fetch six-figure prices.
Williams told the tale of how he pulled the card, a Doncic RPA with the number 10, while attending a convention. A card like that would be worth at least $100,000, but Williams says he’s had bids far higher than that.
Before I even had the work graded, someone made me an offer of $300,000.” Williams claimed. A different bidder made a $250,000 offer. An additional offer was made for $500,000.
Williams went on to say that he is delaying accepting any of the offers in order to grant Doncic the “right of first refusal.” The winger for the Charlotte Hornets stated he thinks Doncic “would buy this for like a million.”
People that open a National Treasures 10-card deck are typically regarded as fortunate to receive their money back. Williams seemed to have the luckiest Friday ever.
Given that Williams was supposedly moved to the Hornets last season because the Mavericks were “fed up” with his frequent yapping, it’s somewhat ironic that he pulled the card of all people.
