Cooper Flagg's Coveted 1-of-1 Rookie Card Has Been Found. Will the Owner Take the Mavs' Offer?

The package includes 32 years of premium tickets, a signed jersey and private experiences as collectors weigh a card that could fetch seven figures.

  • On Thursday, the Dallas Mavericks announced a "bounty" for the 1-of-1 Cooper Flagg rookie debut patch autograph card, offering an extensive package to whoever retrieves the rare item from the Topps Chrome Update set.
  • Topps included the redemption slip in its "Chrome Update" basketball set, featuring a patch from Flagg's first NBA regular-season game; pack owners receive a voucher exchangeable with the manufacturer rather than the physical card.
  • The Mavericks' proposal includes two premium lower-level season tickets for 32 years, a signed jersey, and exclusive team experiences, while experts estimate the card's open-market value could reach between $1.5 million and $5 million.
  • Fanatics Collectibles CEO Mike Mahan told ESPN the card is the most anticipated basketball card "in a long, long time," while Flagg joked at Fanatics Fest he might need his second NBA contract to purchase it.
  • A similar rookie debut patch autograph card for pitcher Paul Skenes sold for $1.11 million last year, establishing precedent; collectors continue searching for the Flagg redemption amid significant market valuation speculation.
