2018 National Treasures Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ROOKIE PATCH AUTO /99 PSA 10 GEM

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is currently atop the short list of this season’s MVP contenders. This stunning PSA 10 2018 National Treasures RPA should be held in similar reverence, firmly in the discussion of the young superstar’s greatest basketball cards. Time will tell if SGA wins MVP. But the leader of the exciting up-and-coming Oklahoma City Thunder has positioned himself as the overwhelming favorite for the award. And it’s easy to see why. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has blossomed into one of the best players in the league, leading the NBA in scoring and guiding OKC to a commanding lead 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. And taking home the league’s top individual prize this season will further solidify his status as a top-tier target. Only five of the 99 examples of this card have earned a PSA 10 grade, with one also featuring a DNA autograph assessment. This stunning offering stamped 23/99 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. And if he adds either of those pieces of hardware to his resume, cards such as this Gem Mint RPA could take on even greater importance. The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 03/05/2025.
