Putting aside all the negative press Kyrie Irving gets for his postgame reactions and rumors of how he’s hard to get along with as a teammate, his talent is undeniable.
And regardless of which team he plays for, Irving will be a valuable asset both on court and in the hobby as he continues to be a key player on offence.
So for those looking to collect or invest in his rookie cards, here are his top 3 in our opinion and where to buy / bid online (links provided).
1. 2012-13 National Treasures Rookie Patch Autograph Card
This National Treasures rookie card is a must for any high-end collector and Kyrie Irving fan.
What’s not to like about this on-card autograph, sick jersey patch, low serial numbered card?
Maybe the price, but that’s about it.

2. 2012-13 Panini Prizm Autograph Card
