Luka Doncic is trending to be one of the best players the NBA has ever seen. He could be a top-ten player and maybe even a top-five when it’s all over.
Sports cards are coming off a run of a lifetime. They saw massive all-time highs over the last few years, fueled by the coronavirus and other factors.
Cards have begun returning to earth in 2022, but high-end graded rookie cards are here to stay as an alternative investment. Doncic is a once-in-a-generation talent, and his rookie cards should provide a solid return over the next 10 to 20 years.
