Highly anticipated Lebron James triple Logoman only sold fro $2.4Mil. Ouch... I thought there was a $5Mil bounty to find the card.

Maybe it's connected to the decline in Bitcoin values?

Yup! Definitely one of the reasons....

However, i think this 1952 Topps complete set was a steal. $74K

A lot of stuff went rather low in his auction last night.

[skelly423]

Goldin advertised this card as the most important modern card, and the holy grail of the card hobby. A bit of humble pie looks good on them. This card is trash, and it's nice to see the market didn't fall for their advertising blitz.

Oh wow. Seems like a great pickup.

I believe this is the card:

Almost 3m for a new card still seems like a lot of money to me.

Man, I could build such a beautiful pre-war collection for that kind of money.

Not if you have 3 billion.

Here's a larger image of the multi-million dollar card:

Who were the bidders? Who was the winner? Is the winner in any way connected to the seller? Are the winner and seller in any way connected to the auction house?

This looks like a scam to inflate values.

Those have to be the tiniest images of the subject in card history.

I believe they're smaller than 1950 Topps Feltback images...and that's saying something.

[Carter08]

You could buy 300 Jackie well made pants for that amount of money!

At actual size there is no way anyone over 40 could even make out those images lol.

oh ya...I must've missed all the reminders I set for this highly anticipated pre WAR baseball card auction event.

and no autograph smh...

According to posters on blowout, the breaker who opened the card initially was rumored to have dropped it, damaging a corner. So the card might have graded a PSA 6, in which case, the owner requested it get an AUTH grade rather than a number.

Dropped it? Wow. That’s like a $2mm fumble.

What are they saying on blowout about the price and what that says for the state of things?

Damage near one of the patches is what caught my attention. It certainly doesn't look like this would occur from being dropped accidentally.

Why "ouch?" This is an 18th year non-signed card of LeBron and it went for $2.4M ... is that supposed to be a fail?

[prestigecollectibles]

The hype on this card was ridiculous.

A One-of-a-Kind LeBron James Card Could Be the Most Expensive Ever Sold at Auction
The Panini Triple Logoman could sell for more than $6.6 million.

Wonder what happens to this card's value if Lebron ever joins a 4th team and they make a new card with all 4 logomen.

Would be the same case as Tom Brady's "last ball"

It gets Brady'd...

Who in their right mind would pay 2.4 million for the ugliest most useless card ever made. A fool and his money are soon parted.

1948 Bowman Rizzuto called and said it’s uglier than the Lebron.

1927 Exhibit Lazzeri could chase them both up a tree

My nomination would be those cards that are "infield dirt" relics with a crappy picture that has the team logo photoshopped out because they don't have the license.

[Casey2296]

Such a poorly designed card, you could have done so much with it if was a postcard size card. It looks more like an homage to the Jerry West logo with tiny pics of LJ squeezed in as an afterthought.

Just by making the orientation vertical, and I think there was room, they could have had much larger images of LeBron. But the people bidding on this don't care, I assume, about the aesthetics.

ya...the design on a lot of this stuff is an abomination...my sister, who is an excellent graphic designer, could do much, much better!

And at what point does thickness factor into what makes a card...a card? Or doesn't it matter? Some of these newer "premium" cards are like 1/8" thick????

[Snapolit1]

I watched a ton of breaks of modern cards and one of the funniest things to me is when people go insane "winning" a "LAUNDRY TAG" relic card. People are frothing at the mouth how lucky they are to win the 1/10 Trevor Lawrence "LAUNDRY TAG". Always makes me chuckle. . . . .congrats . . . .amazing win . . . you now own a tag that was possibly cut out from another guy's worn underwear. Something to cherish indeed. A family relic to be passed down from one generation to the next.

Sorry if someone answered my prior question. Why Authentic?

I could be wrong but my guess is that the submitter didn't want it to say "9" so they went with an "A only" request.

i'd guess it's altered...as many newer basketball cards are. Which if it is... to alter a 1/1...is just stoopid!

But many are stoopid (crazy for cocoa puffs) when it comes to "10's."

Why would anyone prefer A to 9??

Probably because the logos are not evenly and consistently seated in their slots. Which goes toward proving how stupid the whole thing is anyway.

Peter is asking a good question here and I think a lot of people are overlooking this part.

PSA has given some of these logoman cards numerical grades in the past. Why does this one not have it? If it had graded a PSA 10 GEM MINT, then do you think the final price would have been 2.4M? Another way of looking at it is this: a 1952 Topps Mantle PSA AUTHENTIC example is going to sell for much less than a PSA 5 EX or a PSA 7 NM, right?
