    Rare RCs in 2014-15 Gala Basketball Driving Big Sales Around the World (Gallery)

    When 2014-15 Gala Basketball recently arrived packing five cards per box, collectors were wowed by the holographic foilboard, wide array of autographs and deluxe memorabilia cards found in the the international-only release.

    But, it turns out that the one base card per box — specifically the basic Rookie Cards — are what’s really driving some collectors into a buying frenzy.


    Just 17 rookies got the nod to appear in the 100-card base set and they each are limited to only eight copies per card. Sales-wise, the rookie leading the charge in Gala is reigning NBA Rookie of the Year and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Andrew Wiggins. The final copy of his card made — serial-number 8/8 — sold for $4,000 in an eBay auction late last month.

    Either Panini feels the need to publicly report the sales prices of cards to justify their asinine prices of their products or they feel the need to stroke their ego by reporting sales prices because nobody else is.

    Well said Zepp and I had to laugh at "final copy".

    Story is a crock, it was a BIN auction set at $10K in August. Sold best offer for??? Did the buyer report his purchase to Panini?

    And the feedback left was ***. Yes, just ***.

    IF true, I guess whatever it takes to justify my$tery amount lower than $10,000 on a rehashed Prestige card with a terrible photo of the young man.
