As expected, this week we saw the average sales price stabilize…and even increase 5%. Generally speaking, the hype inflation has been priced out of the cards. Now you can start to really double-down and focus on the players you want to invest in….there are a lot of good ones!

There was a relatively substantial shake-up in the Top 10 this week. We saw 5 of out the top 6 increase in their prices… the top guys continue to perform. Markelle Fultz has stabilized and is holding tight to the #4 spot and increased 10%…. but Lauri Markkanen saw another 38% increase in his prices…and Donovan Mitchell saw another 16% push higher. With another couple of solid weeks from those two, I would’t be surprised to see them both in the top 3. A few other sleepers are Josh Jackson (who moved from #10 to #9) and Malik Monk who creeped up a few more spots (36% increase) to #13.

Let’s review the Top 10!

NBA Rookie Single Pricing

Quick Thoughts:

• Tatum sheesh…. this guy keeps playing well and the Boston market is keeping the prices well above $200.
• Donovan Mitchell he’s so dynamic and can absolutely score….fun to see this guy continue to surprise everyone.
• Markelle Fultz The anticipation is building…I think it’s time to decide if you want to invest in him…now might be the bottom.
• Lauri Markkanen He’s the best investment of the bunch. (rinse & repeat from last week)
• Terrance Ferguson Boy did I call this….dropped a whopping 47% this week.

Criteria

We run reports on all rookies prizm silver sales for a given week. We exclude any variation, auto, or memorabilia prices to make sure you are getting a good representation of the actual silver pricing. We use silver prices as a baseline because they are considered by many to be the de facto standard for “base” rookie – NBA cards.
