Normally, a rookie card of a star player in a major sport would be valuable.
In this case? There are other reasons why it’s even MORE valuable.
A 2019 Panini Chronicles Ja Morant rookie card was already a big deal, partially because the Memphis Grizzlies guard became a superstar (we know he’s dealt with some off-the-court issues too), and partially because fans noticed rappers in the background — the late Young Dolph and Key Glock.
But now? Thanks to some people, the value of the card has gone up because they’ve noticed the presence of Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy watching Morant — yes, that’s the family who adopted Michael Oher, but now the former NFL offensive lineman alleges he was never adopted by them.
With the Tuohys in the news, Action Network reports: “Over 100 of the cards sold, including ungraded cards for roughly $55 per. PSA 10s sold for as high as $550 each. According to data from Sports Card Investor, a PSA 10 could be had for just over $100 on July 31.”
WOW.
Crazy that this Ja Morant rookie card has so much going on in the background lol.
