Yao Ming’s global impact on the game—bridging the NBA and an international audience, particularly from his home country of China—makes his Exquisite Collection autographs especially significant.
The Hall of Famer's 2003-04 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Emblems of Endorsement card has just 15 copies with no parallels. It includes an on-card signature and a pair of multi-color patch swatches taken from a game-used jersey.
While Exquisite Collection Basketball offered several hallmark autograph sets during it's NBA run from 2003-04 through 2009-10, Emblems of Endorsements stands out as one of the most popular.
Combining historic importance, elite craftsmanship, and enduring star power, this card stands as a true blue-chip Yao Ming card.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 01/06/2026.
