I long ago made peace that I would likely never own a Giannis true logoman. This player worn hat card from the rookie photo shoot still ticks a lot of boxes for me. Well, it’s not game used. The items from the rookie photo shoot that player worn still have a significance in the hobby. For his rookie year, this contains the NBA logo, and the team logo, and the brand logo on one card. Still one of my favorite Giannis cards in my collection. I still think he’s a top 20 player all time. And the card is super thick. Like Megan Thee Stallion thicc.

This was one of my most expensive card purchases. I’m a collector and don’t really flip cards. But once I got this graded as a PSA 9 and it was jersey number #34/50 - his NBA jersey number, I couldn’t not sell it to make room for other items I’d rather have. The retro PMGs don’t carry as much hobby weight, and I could use the funds to collect other items (game used patch autos and rookie in-person autos) of players for my long-term PC. So it’s one one 3 cards I’ve sold at Goldin. Pretty happy with the timing and the result at the time!
