Anthony Edwards Stunned: Timberwolves Trading Card Sold for $426,000
Anthony Edwards was stunned to learn one of his trading cards sold for $426,000. He guessed cards topped out at $100,000 or $200,000 and told reporters, "Man, I appreciate it" and "That's crazy." For a rising young star, that sale is a loud signal that collectors are betting on his future and willing to pay top dollar now. Merlin sees the market as a mirror of expectations. As Edwards piles up highlight moments, All Star nods, and signature cards with low serial numbers, demand and prices will climb. Scarcity, big playoff moments, and a clean injury run will matter more than a single headline sale. The magic here is momentum, not luck.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
Odds of Edwards' top card selling for more than $1 million within three years: 40%.
