Fanatics and Sotheby’s, the dynamic duo in the world of sports collectibles, are back with another spectacle for enthusiasts and investors alike. The “Exquisite | Capsule Collection” auction is set to dazzle audiences with a curated selection of rare and historic Upper Deck Exquisite sports cards, showcasing the finest in the world of collectible trading cards.
Following the resounding success of their previous collaboration, the “Holy Grails” auction, which raked in over $7 million in sales from just 33 cards, Fanatics and Sotheby’s are gearing up for another groundbreaking event. The “Exquisite | Capsule Collection” aims to build on this success and further solidify their position as trendsetters in the sports card market.
The focus of this upcoming auction lies solely on the Upper Deck Exquisite line, a collection renowned for its premium materials, innovative designs, and coveted Rookie Patch Autographs (RPAs). Comprising 11 ultra-rare cards, this selection is a treasure trove for collectors seeking not just trading cards, but pieces of sports history and art.
Among the highlights of the “Exquisite | Capsule Collection” are individual masterpieces featuring basketball legend LeBron James and a unique triple Logoman card showcasing Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman from the iconic Chicago Bulls dynasty. These cards transcend mere value, embodying rarity, player excellence, and a rich historical narrative that captivates sports enthusiasts worldwide.
The legacy of the Exquisite collection is a testament to visionary innovation in the sports card industry. Initially met with skepticism, the introduction of high-end RPAs by Karvin Cheung revolutionized the market and elevated the status of collectible cards to a whole new level. Today, Upper Deck Exquisite cards are not just commodities but cultural artifacts that command awe-inspiring prices due to their significance and desirability.
