🏀 Market Watch: On-Court Performance Meets Card Prices! 🏀
Each week, we dive into how on-court performances impact basketball card values. This week, Nikola Jokic continues his MVP-level dominance, pushing his BPM to an incredible 13.3!

While Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Victor Wembanyama have been staples on this list, Luka Dončić now enters the Top 5 with a solid BPM of 7.0.

Card Market Trends:
• Jokic's MVP-worthy play has given his cards a +1.5% boost across all sales.
• Shai also saw a modest bump with a +0.6% increase this week.

We rely on Box Plus/Minus (BPM) to measure player impact. Why BPM? It's a proven stat, with 12 of the last 14 NBA MVPs finishing first in BPM!

What’s up collectors! We were pointed to a Reddit thread from an Avs collector, and you’ve got to see this. Collector Stohlen007 is one card away from completing his 2021/22 Premier logo. Anyone in Colorado have this card (or know where to find it) and want to help finish an incredible collection? If you have a lead, but don’t have a Reddit please reach out to me and I’ll communicate with the OP! Let’s go Colorado!

What a Find - The Pull of a Lifetime!
This story is almost too incredible to believe! A lucky collector was browsing at their local Walmart when they spotted something special—inside a 2023 Select hanger pack sitting on the shelf was none other than the Black Finite 1/1 Victor Wembanyama card.

The best part? They snagged the pack for just $15 and later had the card graded by PSA, where it earned a perfect 10!

This story is now generating buzz around The Hobby. The big question is: What do you think it will sell for? 💰

Let us know your thoughts in the comments! Is this the greatest Walmart find ever? 👇
