The sale of high-profile athlete cards, such as the record-breaking USD 5.2 million sale of a signed rookie card of basketball superstar LeBron James, further highlights the growing demand and investment potential in the market.
Similarly, a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card sold for USD 12.6 million in 2022, setting a record for the most expensive sports trading card. The growing interest in acquiring these one-of-a-kind cards has driven up their value and fuelled the overall sports trading card market growth.

This trend has attracted a new generation of collectors, particularly younger demographics.
