Ncaa Basketball 2011: blake griffin

Ever since Blake Griffin played his first NBA game after his rookie-year was virtually destroyed by an injury, his rookie cards have been skyrocketing to insane values.

I actually owned his Absolute, Court Kings and Crown Royale autographed rookie cards which I bought for way lower prices than current ones during the offseason. However, I traded/sold them at the start of the season when they were still affordable.

Now, I always feel like crying whenever I see similar cards being sold at eBay in the $150 - $250 range when I have bought them previously for only $25-$50.

As a super-rookie, I like to buy his rookie cards again. But since I can't afford the autographed ones now, I settle for the second-best, his graded rookie cards.

Here's my first one, a Blake Griffin 09-10 Panini #301 RC graded BGS 9.5. What I like about this card is that it features Griffin about to do what he does best, dunking.

I got this off the bay.

I hope to acquire more in the future.

Blake Griffin has been one of the hottest rookies to enter the NBA in recent years.

This man backed up all the hype surrounding him though as he averages 22.3 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game while providing highlight reels every time he plays.

It's no wonder then that in the sports card hobby, his trading cards are one of the hottest.

And this card right here is the hottest of them all.

It's the Blake Griffin 2009-10 National Treasures Signature Patches Logoman which is numbered to 1 of 1. Yes, the only one of its kind.

It was sold on eBay last March 12 by seller 1of1hobby for a princely price of US $18,800!

It was actually offered with a Buy It Now price of US $32,032.32 last February but after passing up 33 offers, the seller decided to pull it out and offered it in auction.

Check out the seller's description of the card.
