2018 National Treasures Luka Doncic ROOKIE PATCH AUTO /99 #127 BGS 9.5 GEM MINT

As if Luka Doncic wasn’t a big enough attraction on his own, the Mavs’ addition of Kyrie Irving in February 2023 elevated the Dallas Mavericks into true title contenders. The high-scoring backcourt duo propelled the Mavs to the NBA Finals – a stage befitting the tremendous talent of the team’s Slovenian superstar. And though he and his teammates fell to the Boston Celtics, Luka’s tremendous postseason run only confirmed what basketball fans and collectors already knew – that Doncic is one of the most skilled players of the 21st century. Little did fans know at the time that that would not be the last time Luka teamed up with an All-Star from the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 2015-16 title team. On February 1st, the Mavs made the jaw-dropping decision to send Luka to the Lakers, forming one of the most formidable duos in the NBA with Doncic joining none other than LeBron James. Interest in Luka jumped even higher than before, adding another boost to the profile of one of the league’s biggest stars. A superstar in the market since he joined the NBA, Luka’s 2018 National Treasures Rookie Patch Auto /99 remains one of the most sought-after cards to come out of the venerated product. Each example showcases an oversized patch. This one, stamped 14/99, displays a multi-color patch with clearly defined mesh for extra eye appeal. Add in a BGS 9.5 grade with three 9.5 subgrades, a 10 mark for corners and 10-grade Auto, and you’ve got a well-rounded specimen that matches Luka’s do-everything ability. There are no BGS 10 examples of this card. The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 04/21/2025.
