For his career, Giannis is already top 50 all time in my book and if he stays healthy, can finish in the top 20. This is a low-level brand, but I think, over time, despite it being a sticker auto, his full signature rookies will hold much more value long-term. So much better and more meaningful than his G.A. signatures. I love that these Draft Day autographs were from the day/next day after the draft. He said he only signed about 1000 of his full signatures before he got tired and shorted his auto. Get these while you can as his market is soft. Do you think his full signature autographs will carry more weight and have more collectability?

I’m not sure if I ever posted any pictures other than the one with the Mantle team from the National… great to meet Q and the team! So here is my very late National recap post! We got personalized cards on metal of me and my son. We met Ken Golden, Bo Jackson, Giannis, Derek Lively, and others. We also met up with old friends and relatives and connected with some of the people I’ve made deals with by social media in the last few years. It’s always a great time!

I paid too much for this but ended up selling it for about the same price after a few years. So I got to enjoy it as part of my collection for a bit! It is one only 2-3 BGS 10 cards I’ve ever owned (I’ve never had a black label of any card!) and of all the designs and parallels, I love the look of the pulsars more than any of them. Great card or a great MVP, championship winner and top 20 NBA player of all time (if he remains healthy).

I still think Giannis is a top 20 player all-time by the end of his career. Yes, this is a sticker auto. Yes, it’s a lower tier Panini product. But I have always placed a premium on his rookie autos that contain his full signature. He often signs of G.A. or sometimes just a G which, aesthetically, doesn’t do it for me. I still need to pick up a nice flawless game used patch auto, but I will always prefer his full signature… Even if it’s a sticker auto in this instance.
