I hope for the sake of every HGA slab out there, these mistakes stop as it seems it’s becoming a weekly trend at this point.

Maybe (just maybe) this is what HGA is having…a few bad weeks? I remember from my old military days being told either we were motivated or became motivated (usually by some sort of punishment like pushups and low crawls) so perhaps this is what is needed for HGA to get motivated once again and fix whatever issues they have going on. Sometimes the day is just so bad, all we can do is laugh about it, go home and regroup our bearings for tomorrow. If you don’t believe me, take a look at cards from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Karl-Anthony Towns, both of whom deserve more love than they generally get from collectors, and both of whom have values lower than their statistics probably warrant. Remember, the way the market is now, a team’s success is a true factor in determining the value of a player’s card. In some cases, these players will be fairly well known, in others, they may be a player who could really move in terms of market value this season.įor consistency’s sake, we’re using Panini Prizm base rookie cards graded a PSA 10 (when possible) as our example card. In a follow up to Sean DiSomma’s look at some of the must-have NBA players, this week we’re going to dive a little deeper into the waters and look at the league team-by-team, discuss the outlook for the team, and highlighting a single player basketball card enthusiasts might want to give a look. The game has true global appeal, the top players (and some not even top players) are international superstars, and within the hobby, basketball trading cards routinely set the bar for both demand and value.
