Hunter was the 4th overall pick in 2019 after leading Virginia to the National Championship — one of the most dramatic title runs in college basketball history, coming back from being the first #1 seed to lose to a #16 seed the year before.

Prizm RC of the trash-talking safety who led the NFL in interceptions in 2022 with 6 picks for the Eagles. Known as "Ceedy Duce" or "CJ Gardner-Johnson," he brings an unmatched swagger and ball-hawking ability to any secondary he joins.
2019 Panini Prizm Nicolas Claxton #292
Prizm RC of the Nets center who emerged as one of the NBA's elite rim protectors. Claxton averaged 2.5 blocks per game during his breakout stretch, using his 7-2 wingspan and mobility to anchor Brooklyn's defense. A late first-round pick (#31) who outperformed his draft slot.
2019 Topps Chrome Jose Trevino RC #165
Chrome RC of the Yankees' defensive wizard. Trevino went from a little-known Rangers backup to a 2022 All-Star behind the plate in the Bronx. His elite framing, game-calling, and clutch hitting made him a fan favorite in pinstripes.
2019-20 Panini Prizm De'Andre Hunter RC #251
Prizm RC of the 2019 national championship hero. Hunter was the #4 overall pick after leading Virginia to the 2019 title — the Cavaliers' first-ever national championship. His 27 points in the title game against Texas Tech was one of the clutchest performances in college basketball history. At 6-8 with elite two-way ability, he's the modern NBA prototype wing.
2019 Donruss Marquise Brown Rated Rookie #305
Rated Rookie of Hollywood Brown from his Ravens debut. As Antonio Brown's cousin, Marquise carries name recognition beyond his own production. The Oklahoma product was Lamar Jackson's top target before being traded to Arizona and then Kansas City. His 4.32 speed makes him one of the fastest players in NFL history at his draft position.
2019 Panini Prizm Mecole Hardman RC #350
Prizm RC of the man who caught the game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl LVIII. Mecole Hardman scored in overtime to beat the 49ers 25-22, cementing his legacy forever in Chiefs history. The Georgia product has 2 Super Bowl rings and that one catch alone makes his cards historically significant — Super Bowl-winning TDs are the rarest moments in football.
2019 Panini Select Jakobi Meyers RC #265
Select RC. The NC State product had the longest TD drought in NFL history before finally scoring — 117 catches, zero TDs. Then broke out for 9 TDs with the Raiders in 2023. Patience pays.
2019 Prizm Byron Murphy Jr RC #322
Prizm RC from his Cardinals draft year. Murphy was a shutdown corner at Washington who fell to #33 because of his size (5-11), but he's proved that slot corner skills translate to every alignment. Born in Scottsdale, Arizona, he was literally a hometown pick for the Cardinals. Now with the Vikings, he's an underappreciated defensive back whose cards are still near their floor.
2019 Prizm Darius Slayton RC #332
Prizm RC. Slayton was a 5th-round pick out of Auburn in 2019 who immediately flashed as a deep threat — posting 8 touchdowns as a rookie when nobody expected it. Surviving the turbulent Daniel Jones era in New York while maintaining consistent 50-catch seasons speaks to his professionalism and reliability. Giants receivers who produce carry the massive New York market premium, and Slayton's longevity makes him a team leader in an evolving offense.
2019-20 Prizm P.J. Washington RC #258
Prizm RC. #12 out of Kentucky. Louisville native. Now with Mavericks alongside Luka and Kyrie. 2024 Finals contributor.
2019-20 Donruss Bol Bol RC Rated Rookie #234
Rated Rookie. Manute Bol's legacy in the NBA — humanitarian, shot-blocker, cultural icon — gives his son's cards a narrative weight that transcends statistics. Bol Bol's 7-2 frame doing things that 6-foot guards do (crossovers, three-pointers, spin moves) creates the kind of highlight-reel moments that drive social media sharing and card demand. Sudanese heritage connects to Africa's growing basketball culture. The most unique player in the NBA.
2019 Donruss Optic Noah Fant #175 RC
Optic RC. Greatest TE draft class ever (2019: Fant, Hockenson, both from Iowa). 4.50-at-249 drew Vernon Davis comparisons.
2019 Panini Prizm Parris Campbell RC #335
Prizm RC. Campbell was one of the fastest players in the 2019 draft class out of Ohio State. The Akron, Ohio native had his career derailed by repeated injuries — knee, foot, Achilles — which limited him to just 25 games in his first 3 seasons. His cards are a case study in injury risk for card investors.
Naz Reid 2019 Donruss Optic #175 Rookie Card
Optic RC of the 6MOY. Reid went undrafted, played in the G League, and worked his way to a $42M contract. The Wolves won the Western Conference because Reid gave them a reliable second unit.
Ty Jerome 2019 Donruss Optic #180 Rookie Card
Optic RC. Jerome bounced from Phoenix to Oklahoma City to Golden State to Cleveland. The Cavs gave him a real role and he became their most reliable bench scorer.
2019-20 Panini Select Daniel Gafford #210 RC
Select RC. Traded from Washington to Dallas where he became a perfect Luka complement. His catch radius and vertical spacing opened the floor for the Mavericks offense.
2019 Panini Prizm Drew Lock RC #302
Prizm RC. Lock entered the NFL with a cannon arm and Missouri swagger, winning 4 of 5 starts as a rookie Bronco. Despite being shuffled between teams, his natural arm talent keeps him in the league as a viable starter when called upon.
2019 Donruss Optic David Montgomery RC #165
Optic RC. At Iowa State, Montgomery rushed for 2,925 career yards and proved he could handle a heavy workload. His patience and vision translated immediately to the NFL, where he has been one of the most consistent backs in the league for 5+ seasons.
2019 Panini Donruss Dre Greenlaw RC #352
Donruss RC of the 49ers' heart-and-soul defender. Greenlaw's two Super Bowl stories — the game-saving tackle in LIV and the heartbreaking Achilles tear in LVIII — make him one of the most emotionally compelling players in recent championship history.
2019-20 Select De'Andre Hunter RC #168
Select RC of the Hawks two-way wing. Hunter plays alongside Trae Young in Atlanta, providing the defensive presence and wing scoring that complements Young's playmaking. The Virginia national championship will always be part of his legacy — he scored 27 points on the biggest stage in college basketball. His cards represent the intersection of pedigree and unrealized potential.
2019 Topps Chrome Yusei Kikuchi RC #195
Chrome RC of the Japanese NPB star who made the jump to MLB. Kikuchi was a Koshien legend with the Seibu Lions, posting a 73-46 record in NPB before signing with the Mariners as an international free agent. He's part of the growing Japan-to-MLB pipeline alongside Ohtani, Yamamoto, and Imanaga. Japanese baseball cards carry dual US/Japan collector demand.
2019-20 Donruss Duncan Robinson RC #233
Donruss RC. Williams College (2,000 students) to NBA Finals starter. 270 threes in a season. York, Maine native. Heat Culture at its finest.
2019-20 Donruss Jaylen Nowell RC Rated Rookie #245
Rated Rookie. Washington Huskies basketball has produced Brandon Roy, Markelle Fultz, Matisse Thybulle, and now Nowell — Seattle basketball royalty. His scoring instincts are elite — the ability to create his own shot off the dribble at 6-4 makes him a natural sixth man. Minnesota's rise to contention (2024 Western Conference Finals) elevates every Timberwolves player's card market. Pacific Northwest collectors are fiercely loyal.
2019-20 O-Pee-Chee Pierre Engvall #540 RC
OPC RC. 7th-round pick who developed into a legit NHL forward. 6-5 but moves like a smaller player. Size and skating combo is rare.
2019-20 Donruss Optic Terance Mann #188 RC
Optic RC. Mann does everything — defends, rebounds, facilitates, and hits big shots. His 39-point playoff game against Utah made his cards spike 500% overnight. The ultimate role player with a signature moment.
2019 Topps Kyle Farmer RC #595
Topps RC. Farmer is the ultimate position versatility player — originally a catcher at the University of Georgia, he converted to infielder and played every position except pitcher and center field in the MLB. His walk-off hit in the 2017 NLDS for the Dodgers is one of the best rookie playoff moments ever.
2019-20 Panini Prizm Oshae Brissett RC #283
Prizm RC. Brissett is a Toronto native who went undrafted out of Syracuse and earned his way into the NBA through the G League. The Canadian forward has the size (6-7) and toughness that coaches value off the bench. Toronto producing NBA players is becoming more common, and Brissett represents the blue-collar path.
2019 Donruss Optic Devin Singletary RC #182
Optic RC. Motor is one of the best nicknames in football — earned through 66 college touchdowns at FAU. Singletary proves that small-school production can translate to the NFL. Deerfield Beach, FL is a football factory.
2019-20 Donruss Optic Caleb Martin RC #188
Optic RC. Martin and his twin brother Cody are one of the few twin duos in NBA history, having played together at Nevada before being separated in the pros. Caleb's defensive versatility — guarding 1 through 4 — and his competitive fire earned him a $32M deal from Philadelphia after his Finals run.
2019 Panini Prizm Jeffery Simmons RC #328
Prizm RC. Simmons was drafted 19th overall despite tearing his ACL before the draft. He became a 3x Pro Bowl selection and one of the most dominant interior defensive linemen in the NFL. His ability to penetrate from the DT position is rare.
2019 Panini Mosaic Chauncey Gardner-Johnson #245
Mosaic RC of CJ Gardner-Johnson. His social media presence and on-field antics make him one of the most polarizing players in the NFL — love him or hate him, he plays with an edge that translates to turnovers.
2019 Panini Mosaic Nicolas Claxton #258
Mosaic RC of Claxton. His development from G-League regular to anchor of the Nets' defense mirrors the patient development approach Brooklyn has taken — his defensive versatility makes him a cornerstone piece.
2019-20 Donruss De'Andre Hunter Rated Rookie #215
Rated Rookie of the Virginia champion. Hunter has dealt with knee injuries that have limited his availability, but when healthy he shows All-Star level two-way play. His cards are a classic buy-the-dip play — the talent is #4-pick caliber, but the injury history keeps prices suppressed. If he strings together a healthy season, the upside is significant.
2019 Bowman Yusei Kikuchi RC #BP-88
Bowman RC of the Seibu Lions ace who came to MLB. Kikuchi's posting from NPB drew significant interest from multiple MLB teams. He attended the same Hanamaki Higashi High School as Shohei Ohtani in Iwate prefecture — making him part of the most famous high school baseball program in Japan. His cards appeal to the massive Japanese collector market.
2019 Donruss Mecole Hardman Rated Rookie #315
Rated Rookie of the 2x Super Bowl champion and SB LVIII hero. Hardman was a 2nd-round pick out of Georgia who became a key piece of the Mahomes dynasty. His game-winning TD in Super Bowl LVIII overtime is the kind of iconic moment that defines card value forever — like David Tyree's helmet catch or Malcolm Butler's interception.
2019 Donruss Darius Slayton RC Rated Rookie #315
Rated Rookie. Auburn's NFL pipeline runs deep — Cam Newton, Bo Jackson, and now steady producers like Slayton who may never make Pro Bowls but anchor NFL rosters for years. His 4.39 40-yard dash speed makes him a constant deep threat, and the New York Giants' market is unmatched for media exposure. Fifth-round picks who become multi-year starters represent the best value-to-production ratio in the hobby.
2019-20 Donruss P.J. Washington RC #206
Donruss RC. 27 points in his NBA debut. Trade to Dallas put him alongside Luka. Kentucky pedigree.
2019 Topps Danny Jansen RC #448
Topps RC. Two home runs in one inning — a baseball first. Jansen Belgian-Canadian heritage and Appleton, Wisconsin roots make him a distinctive collector target. The Blue Jays catchers have a rich tradition (Borders, Molina, Martin), and Jansen continues it.
2019 Donruss Optic Parris Campbell RC #195
Optic RC. Ohio State receivers in the NFL are a coin flip — some become superstars (Chase, Olave), others never reach their ceiling. Campbell had the speed (4.31 forty) but injuries prevented him from becoming the slot weapon he was drafted to be. Akron, Ohio high school football runs deep.
2019-20 Donruss Optic PJ Washington RC #175
Donruss Optic RC. Washington's versatility on both ends of the floor made him a coveted trade target. His ability to stretch the floor with his three-point shooting while also protecting the rim gives Dallas the positional flexibility that modern NBA basketball demands.
2019 Panini Select Drew Lock RC #220
Select RC. Lock's career arc is a reminder that the NFL is a league of opportunity — his big arm and confidence keep getting him chances. From Denver to Seattle to New York, he represents the journeyman QB archetype that can spike in value on any given Sunday.
2019 Panini Donruss Chauncey Gardner-Johnson #290
Donruss rated rookie of the Florida product drafted by the Saints. Gardner-Johnson's versatility (nickel CB, free safety, strong safety) and aggressive personality make him a fan favorite and a matchup nightmare for opposing offenses.
2019 Panini Donruss Nicolas Claxton #231
Donruss rated rookie of the Georgia product. Claxton's journey from end-of-first-round pick to starting center reflects the modern NBA's emphasis on mobile bigs who can switch on defense and protect the rim.
2019-20 Panini Donruss Grant Williams RC #242
Donruss RC of the Tennessee product who became Boston's playoff hero. Williams's 7-for-18 three-point explosion in Game 7 against the Bucks turned an SEC power forward into a Celtics folk legend. His basketball IQ and defensive versatility made him the perfect Ime Udoka role player.
2019 Topps Chrome Nick Senzel RC #53
Chrome RC of the Reds #2 overall pick. When Cincinnati selected Senzel in 2016, he was compared to Alex Bregman — a high-floor, high-ceiling bat with defensive versatility. The hype was enormous. Injuries turned one of the most anticipated prospects of his generation into a cautionary tale, but the underlying talent was never questioned.
2019 Topps Carson Kelly #326
Topps card from Kelly's breakout 2019 All-Star season in Arizona. After years of waiting behind Yadier Molina in St. Louis, Kelly seized his opportunity with the D-backs, hitting .245 with 18 home runs and earning his first All-Star nod. The Goldschmidt trade looked like a steal for Arizona — Kelly gave them a franchise catcher while Goldy moved to the Cardinals.
2019 Donruss Byron Murphy Jr RC #303
Donruss RC. Murphy's 2019 draft class was loaded with defensive talent (Quinnen Williams, Josh Allen, Ed Oliver) but he's quietly been one of the most productive corners from that class. His 4 INT season showed ball skills to match his coverage technique. Washington Huskies corners have a strong NFL track record and Murphy continues the tradition.
2019-20 Donruss Optic Oshae Brissett RC #195
Optic RC. The Toronto-born, Syracuse-educated forward who grinded through the G League to stick in the NBA. Canadian basketball is booming, and every undrafted success story like Brissett inspires the next generation of Toronto ballers.
2019 Topps Chrome Austin Hays RC #83
Chrome RC. Hays was a third-round pick who became part of the young Orioles core that transformed Baltimore from the worst team in baseball to a playoff contender. His athleticism in center field and emerging bat made him a solid everyday player during the rebuild.
2019 Panini Donruss Drew Lock RC #310
Donruss RC. Lock's 2019 class includes Kyler Murray, Daniel Jones, and Dwayne Haskins — a fascinating snapshot of how QB evaluation works. His career as a backup-to-starter pipeline keeps his cards relevant in the budget QB collecting space.
2019 Panini Prizm Jonah Williams RC #330
Prizm RC. The 11th overall pick from Alabama was considered the most technically polished offensive lineman in the 2019 draft. Williams missed his entire rookie season with a shoulder injury, making his comeback and development even more impressive.
2019 Topps Series 2 Nick Senzel RC #289
Topps RC of the Reds prospect from his highly anticipated debut. Senzel moved from third base to center field to get to the majors faster, showing the kind of selfless versatility teams love. His Tennessee pedigree and #2 overall selection made him one of the most collected prospects of the 2019 class alongside Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Fernando Tatis Jr.
