LaMelo Ball and his top 3 rookie cards

For some of the best sports card auctions currently listed ending today, check out our Daily Auctions page, which is updated frequently!

While he didn’t go number one in the 2020 NBA Draft, LaMelo Ball still got drafted in the top 3 by the Charlotte Hornets and still has big upside.

There are risks too with some aspects of his game still needing work.

For collectors who believe in LaMelo, his rookie cards will be highly anticipated. We’ll update this page accordingly with the new releases. But in the meantime, as we did with first overall pick Anthony Edwards, we offer our top 3 sports cards currently available as a prospect.

1. 2020-21 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Autograph Card

From the popular Panini Prizm brand, the Draft Picks hobby box has LaMelo’s autograph on the card (albeit a sticker auto).

And as with the Panini Prizm set, there are plenty of parallels to chase with some of the rare ones costing several thousand already.

But there are other cheaper parallels plus a couple of image variations available.

3. 2018 Leaf Metal Draft Autograph Card

One of the earlier releases of LaMelo sports cards is from the Leaf Metal Draft packs.

While some collectors loathe the general look and quality of Leaf cards, they have some rare ones out there that might interest high-end collectors (including one superfractor).
