Cooper Flagg Trading Card Sells For NBA-Record $8.04 Million

Cooper Flagg’s Topps rookie debut patch card sold for a record $8.04 million early Friday, setting the highest price ever for a single NBA player’s card, according to Fanatics. The 19-year-old Duke forward won national player of the year in 2025 and was named NBA rookie of the year in April, boosting collector demand. Bidding rose from $3.5 million at 9 p.m. ET Thursday to $8.04 million at 2 a.m. Friday. The one-of-one signed patch features the kind of game-worn jersey patch players wore in their pro regular-season debuts.
