Jayson Tatum’s star power and the Celtics' status as perennial title contenders have made cards such as this 2017 National Treasures /99 RPA rise up many collectors’ wish lists. This month's Premier Auction provides an opportunity to land potentially the best example of this titanic Tatum, with this pop 3 PSA 10 / DNA 10 offering showcasing not only those two lofty numerical assessments, but also a gorgeous multi-colored swatch of Boston jersey that separates it from some of the more solid-colored sections in the print run.
Collectors found 10 cards inside each box of 2017 National Treasures, and many of them hoped at least one of the nine hits included a top prospect’s RPA. Tatum landed among 46 rookies on the RPA checklist. While other Tatum RPAs have a lower print run, the classic vertical NT RPA is the benchmark for many ultra-modern collectors. With one title already to his name, Tatum has already established himself as a Boston Celtics great. However, he's also on track to be one of the greatest players of his generation. Such an accomplishment would only further underscore the importance of marquee Tatum RCs such as this one.
