A New All Time Record for a Sports Card

Think of all the great players that joined the league over the last fifteen years. Without LeBaby, nobody would care about Exquisite basketball, IMO.

None of that changes just how big the Exquisite cards are in the hobby. Panini doesn't have Jordan autos, let alone Jordan patch autos, so it's disingenuous to claim Lebron is the only reason Exquisite is legendary. Jordan rules the basketball market. And he's a UD exclusive. Some of the top basketball cards ever are from Exquisite. Case in point, this Jordan/Kobe. Prefer NT all you want, but it's foolish to deny the significance of Exquisite. And my point had nothing to do with arguing other top sets. It was in relation to someone claiming this Jordan/Kobe wasn't from a significant product. And that's objectively wrong.

Yeah, that's a good point. There is also the Exquisite Kevin Durant RPA as well (though I think he's a b*tch for joining a loaded Warriors team lol).
