This glittering Gold Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Rookie Patch Auto, with its print run of just /10, stands as one of the Thunder leader's most coveted rookie cards. A parallel of the rapidly rising #121 from the 2018 National Treasures checklist, Gold versions of these seminal RPAs chop the print run down by nearly 90%, ratcheting up the intrigue and allure in the process.
Gilgeous-Alexander has blossomed into one of the best players in the league, leading the NBA in scoring and guiding OKC to the top seed in the stacked Western Conference. After a second-place MVP finish last season and a fifth-place finish two seasons ago, the electric guard’s best cards have become highly sought after.
This stunning offering stamped 09/10 showcases SGA at full stretch, ready to lay the ball into the hoop for yet another two points. Gilgeous-Alexander showed some great potential in his rookie season with the Clippers. But few could have imagined he would blossom into a leading MVP candidate and the leader of one of the favorites for the NBA title. If he adds either of those pieces of hardware to his resume, cards such as this BGS 9.5 Gem Mint RPA could take on even greater importance.
Expect this Thunderous printing to make plenty of noise throughout this month's Premier Auction as OKC and SGA continue their march toward the NBA Finals.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 04/29/2025.
