Team USA Big 3 create rare memorabilia after Paris Olympics

The Paris Olympics saw a historic moment when LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant, three of the greatest basketball players of the 21st century, took to the court as teammates.

This unexpected union gave fans a rare treat, reminiscent of the iconic 1992 Dream Team featuring Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird.

To commemorate this moment, Topps is releasing a 1-of-1 signed trading card featuring the trio in their Team USA jerseys.

This unique card will be sent to a random customer who purchases the base card featuring James, Curry, and Durant for $11.99.

The signed card is a rare opportunity for fans to own a piece of history, and its value is expected to be substantial.

According to Ken Goldin, founder and President of Goldin Auctions, the signed card could ultimately be worth “easily six figures” at auction.

The significance of this card lies in the fact that it’s the first time these three players have signed the same card.

Topps has released various signature cards throughout basketball trading card history, but this one is particularly unique.

The card honors the incredible moment when James, Curry, and Durant came together to win the gold medal, and its rarity makes it highly sought after by collectors.

Recently, cards featuring basketball legends like Jordan and Kobe Bryant have sold for over seven figures at auctions.

In December, a Topps Bryant rookie card sold for $2 million, just under two years after another card brought in $1.75 million.

The value of this signed card could potentially reach similar heights, making it a highly coveted item among collectors.

During the Paris Games, James, Curry, and Durant spoke about the honor they felt representing their country as teammates.

They even embraced the label of being the modern-day version of Jordan, Johnson, and Bird, recreating an iconic photograph of the Dream Team trio during their time in Paris.

The chemistry between the three was crucial to Team USA overcoming challenges from Serbia and France in the semifinals and gold medal game.

Now, a lucky fan will get to memorialize this experience with a rare piece of memorabilia.

The signed card serves as a reminder of the historic moment when three basketball legends came together to achieve greatness, and its value will only continue to appreciate over time.
