Everyone thought he was crazy đ
In 2017, 12-year-old Andrew Park from California walked into a card show and spent $40,000 on a Giannis Antetokounmpo rookie card, a 1-of-1 National Treasures Logoman. He was an avid collector who had been flipping Pokémon and sports cards throughout his childhood, slowly building an eye for the next big opportunity.
At the time, most people doubted Giannisâ future. Some thought Andrew had overpaid, but he trusted his instincts and saw what others didnât. Three years later, it paid off when he sold the card for $1.81 million, becoming the most expensive basketball card ever sold at that time.
A young collectorâs bold move, patience, and belief in his own judgment turned a single card into collecting history.
