This rare one-of-a-kind card is part of the 2023-24 Bowman University Chrome Basketball collection, which will be available later this month and the excitement around this rare card is extraordinary as it represents a fusion of family, heritage, and basketball greatness. The Akron Hammer has signed a multiyear trading card deal with Fanatics Collectibles, a notable departure from his previous connection with Upper Deck. This move gives James’s trading card enterprises a new viewpoint, and the unique 1-of-1 card is just the first product of this collaboration.
However, this is not the first time the 39-year-old star has had an exclusive trading card. His “Triple Logoman” card from the 2020-21 Panini basketball card set won a whopping $2.4 million at an auction in June 2022. So, the card with Bronny will be highly sought-after by the collectors and the price of that one will also be massive.
