Injuries slowed his early NFL career, but his electric playmaking ability on jet sweeps, screens, and returns makes him a dynamic weapon.
2021-22 Panini Prizm Sandro Mamukelashvili RC #290
Prizm RC of the Georgian-born versatile big. Born in Tbilisi, Georgia, Mamukelashvili starred at Seton Hall before being drafted by the Pacers. His 6'11" frame with three-point range makes him a modern stretch big. One of the few Georgian-born players in NBA history.
2021-22 Panini Prizm Aaron Wiggins RC #295
Prizm RC of OKC's versatile wing. Wiggins (no relation to Andrew) emerged as a key rotation player on the league's best team. His 3-and-D profile — shooting 38% from three while defending the opponent's best perimeter player — is exactly what championship teams need.
2021 Topps Chrome Clarke Schmidt RC #198
Chrome RC of the Yankees' rotation surprise. Schmidt bounced between starter and reliever before breaking out in 2024 with a sub-3.00 ERA. The Pinstripes premium adds value.
2021 Panini Select Terrace Marshall Jr. RC #245
Select RC. Played alongside the greatest WR class in college history (Chase, Jefferson, Devonta Smith). The Panthers drafted him to be their deep threat. Budget buy.
2021 Topps David Peterson RC #520
Flagship RC. The Oregon lefty was drafted 22nd overall by the Mets and gave them quality innings in the rotation. Peterson's curveball is his calling card — a wipeout hammer that freezes hitters.
2021-22 Panini Prizm Kessler Edwards RC #300
Prizm RC. Edwards came from Pepperdine — a small program in Malibu that rarely produces NBA talent. His 6'8" frame with defensive versatility and improving three-point shot earned him a rotation role as a rookie with the Nets.
2021 Prizm John Bates RC #342
Prizm RC. Bates was a 4th-round pick from Boise State — one of the most productive Group of 5 tight end factories in college football. At 6-6 and 255 pounds, his blocking ability made him an immediate starter in Washington. Lexington, Kentucky natives who make the NFL carry SEC-country credibility even from a non-SEC school. Blocking TEs who develop receiving skills often see late-career hobby spikes when the production arrives.
2021 Donruss Noah Gray Rated Rookie #352
Rated Rookie. Duke-educated, 2x SB champ. Scored in multiple Super Bowls. Absurdly undervalued for his playoff resume.
2021 Topps Joey Bart #540 RC
Topps RC. Georgia Tech catchers in the top 5 of the draft are unicorns. Bart has the arm, the power, and the pedigree — what he lacked in San Francisco was consistent at-bats. Pittsburgh gives him a fresh start. A change-of-scenery breakout would skyrocket these cheap RCs.
2021-22 Panini Prizm Jock Landale RC #298
Prizm RC. Landale is a 6-11 Australian center from Melbourne who took the long road to the NBA — Saint Mary's, NBL MVP, and finally an NBA roster spot. He has earned minutes for the Spurs, Suns, and Rockets as a smart, skilled big man. Australian basketball is surging globally and Landale is part of the wave.
2021-22 Panini Prizm Jaden Springer RC #302
Prizm RC. Springer was a defensive-minded guard drafted 28th overall from Tennessee. The Charlotte, North Carolina native was the youngest player in the 2021 draft and his defensive intensity was elite from day one. Charlotte continues to produce basketball talent at every level.
2021 Upper Deck Young Guns Michael Bunting RC #482
Young Guns RC. Bunting was undrafted and spent years in the minors before breaking out as a 26-year-old rookie with the Maple Leafs in 2021-22. The Scarborough native scoring 23 goals for his hometown team is one of hockey's great underdog stories — a Calder Trophy finalist who nobody saw coming.
2021 Panini Donruss Talanoa Hufanga #320
Donruss rated rookie of the USC product. Hufanga overcame torn ACL injuries at USC to become one of the NFL's best safeties — his comeback resilience and violent playing style make him a fan favorite in the Bay Area.
2021 Topps Chrome Dane Dunning RC #175
Chrome RC of the Rangers workhorse. Dunning is the definition of a steady mid-rotation arm — he eats innings, limits walks, and keeps his team in games. His 2023 World Series ring with Texas adds championship pedigree to an otherwise quiet card. The value proposition: affordable cards of a World Series champion starter.
2021 Panini Prizm Kenneth Gainwell RC #390
Prizm RC of the Eagles versatile running back from Memphis. Gainwell opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID after a dominant 2019 (2,069 all-purpose yards, 16 TDs), then still got drafted in the 5th round. His receiving ability makes him a PPR fantasy football darling and the Eagles use him as their primary pass-catching back.
2021-22 Donruss Optic Herbert Jones RC #230
Optic RC at a budget price. Jones is the type championship teams need — elite defender, smart passer, team-first mentality. 2nd-round status keeps prices surprisingly low.
2021-22 Panini Select Jose Alvarado RC #205
Select RC. Undrafted to fan favorite — Alvarado's relentless energy and defensive intensity earned him a real NBA career. Georgia Tech product who outworks everyone.
2021 Donruss Tommy Tremble RC Rated Rookie #342
Rated Rookie. Notre Dame tight ends in the NFL have a strong track record — Tyler Eifert, Kyle Rudolph, and Michael Mayer. Tremble brings the athleticism and blocking pedigree that the Panthers need. Charlotte is one of the fastest-growing NFL markets.
2021-22 Panini Select Trendon Watford #210 Rookie Card
Select RC. Watford was one of the top recruits in his class coming out of Mountain Brook HS — he chose LSU and averaged 13.6 PPG as a sophomore before going undrafted. Portland gave him a two-way contract and he proved he belonged, earning a full roster spot through his playmaking ability as a big.
2021-22 Panini Prizm Javonte Smart #290 RC
Prizm RC. Smart went undrafted from LSU but earned an NBA spot through the G League. Tough two-way guard, reliable shooter, Heat Culture prototype from Baton Rouge.
2021 Topps Justin Steele #590 RC
Topps RC. Steele converted from reliever to starter and transformed into one of the NL best pitchers. His 2023 All-Star selection as a 5th-round pick from small-town Mississippi is an underdog story that resonates with collectors.
2021 Panini Prizm Dyami Brown RC #342
Prizm RC. Brown was a 3rd-round pick out of North Carolina known for his deep-ball tracking. He played alongside Javonte Williams and Sam Howell at UNC. With Jayden Daniels arriving in Washington, Brown could finally see his vertical skills unlocked.
2021 Donruss Optic Quinn Meinerz #295 Rookie Card
Optic RC. The Hartford, Connecticut native chose D-III Wisconsin-Whitewater over bigger programs and never looked back. His journey from the smallest college level to NFL stardom is one of the greatest underdog stories in draft history. Offensive lineman cards rarely gain value — Meinerz's personality makes him the exception.
2021 Panini Select Kadarius Toney #264
Select RC of the receiver whose Super Bowl catch will be replayed for decades. Toney's path — from #20 pick to Giants disappointment to midseason trade to Kansas City to SB hero — reads like a Hollywood script. His cards spiked 10x on Super Bowl night and remain a Super Bowl memorabilia must-have.
2021-22 Upper Deck Ross Colton #464
Base RC of the undrafted kid who scored the Cup-clincher. Ross Colton went from the University of Vermont to the ECHL to the AHL to scoring the biggest goal of the 2021 Stanley Cup Finals — all without ever being drafted. Now a top-six forward with the Avalanche.
2021 Panini Mosaic Rondale Moore RC #341
Mosaic RC of the 5-7, 180 lb human joystick. At 5-7, Moore is one of the smallest players in the NFL, but his combination of 4.29 speed, insane agility, and fearless play over the middle makes him a nightmare for defenses in space. He's been compared to Tyreek Hill and Percy Harvin for his ability to turn short passes into explosive plays. A healthy Moore is one of the most dynamic offensive weapons in football.
2021 Topps Dane Dunning RC #332
Topps RC of the Texas-born pitcher playing for the Texas Rangers. Dunning was part of the Lance Lynn trade from the White Sox and immediately became a rotation staple in Arlington. Born in Orange, Florida, but raised in the Texas baseball system — he was drafted by the Nationals then traded to Chicago before landing in his home state.
2021-22 Panini Select Sandro Mamukelashvili RC #200
Select RC. The Seton Hall product averaged 17.6 PPG as a senior with elite efficiency. His passing vision at 6'11" is rare — can facilitate from the elbow like a guard.
2021-22 Panini Select Aaron Wiggins RC #205
Select RC. Maryland product who went from a 2nd-round afterthought to a key piece on the Western Conference's best team. OKC's development system elevated Wiggins into a legitimate starter-caliber wing.
2021 Donruss Optic Terrace Marshall Jr. RC #225
Optic RC. Cheapest way to collect from the legendary 2019 LSU WR room. If Marshall puts it together, these could spike significantly.
2021 Donruss Optic Azeez Ojulari RC #230
Optic RC. Budget entry on a pass rusher who led his class in sacks. Health has been the only concern — when on the field, Ojulari dominates.
2021-22 Panini Select Kessler Edwards RC #210
Select RC. Pepperdine to the NBA is an incredibly rare path. Edwards' defensive IQ and positional versatility are exactly what modern teams value in wing players.
2021 Donruss John Bates RC Rated Rookie #298
Rated Rookie. Boise State produces NFL talent at a rate that rivals many Power 5 programs — Kellen Moore, Leighton Vander Esch, and now Bates. His Commanders tenure has been defined by reliability and availability — starting 40+ consecutive games. Washington's rebuild under new ownership creates opportunity for established veterans to become franchise cornerstones. Consistent producers at TE are undervalued until they suddenly aren't.
2021-22 Donruss Optic Jock Landale RC #208
Optic RC. Melbourne, Australia is becoming a basketball factory — Ben Simmons, Josh Giddey, and now Landale represent different paths from Down Under to the NBA. Landale NBL MVP season proved he could dominate professionally before making the NBA leap through Saint Mary's.
2021-22 Donruss Optic Jaden Springer RC #215
Optic RC. From Charlotte to Tennessee to the NBA, Springer was one of the youngest first-round picks in 2021. His defensive potential is his calling card — a switchable guard who can guard multiple positions. Tennessee basketball has a growing NBA pipeline.
2021 Topps Chrome Triston McKenzie RC #18
Chrome RC. At 6-foot-5 and just 165 pounds, McKenzie was the skinniest pitcher in MLB — his thin frame defied conventional pitching wisdom. Nicknamed "Sticks" for his rail-thin build, he threw 95+ mph despite looking like he might blow away in the wind.
2021 Topps Ryan Mountcastle RC #281
Topps RC. As a top prospect in one of the best farm systems in baseball, Mountcastle delivered immediately. He anchored first base for the Orioles through their rebuild and into their contention window.
2021 Upper Deck Dawson Mercer RC #452
Base RC. Mercer was the #18 pick in the 2021 draft after dominating the QMJHL with Chicoutimi. As the first player from Bay Roberts, Newfoundland to play in the NHL, he carries an entire province's hockey dreams on his shoulders.
2021 Panini Donruss Kadarius Toney #328
Rated Rookie of the Florida Gator whose electric elusiveness made him a first-round pick. Toney's 189-yard game against the Cowboys in 2021 showcased his generational talent in the open field. Despite injury issues, his Super Bowl moment with the Chiefs cemented his hobby legacy forever.
2021 Panini Donruss Rondale Moore Rated Rookie #281
Rated Rookie of the speedster from New Albany, Indiana. Moore's Purdue freshman season was legendary: 114 receptions, 1,258 receiving yards, 213 rushing yards, and 14 total touchdowns while also returning kicks. Injuries in 2019 and 2020 hurt his draft stock, but anyone who watched his freshman tape knew this was a special player. Now with the Falcons, he brings that same explosive ability.
2021 Bowman Chrome Dane Dunning RC #60
Bowman Chrome RC of the 2023 World Series champion. Dunning was a key piece of the Rangers rotation that won it all, posting a 3.70 ERA during the regular season. He originally came up through the White Sox system as a first-round pick equivalent before being traded. His cards carry underrated value as a championship rotation piece.
2021 Donruss Kenneth Gainwell Rated Rookie #340
Rated Rookie of the Memphis pass-catcher. Gainwell's 2019 Memphis season was electric — he was the AAC Rookie of the Year and led the conference in all-purpose yards. His opt-out year is a unique storyline that makes his draft position feel like a steal. Playing for the Eagles gives him a massive market in Philadelphia.
2021 Select Kenneth Gainwell RC #180
Select RC of the Eagles multi-purpose back. The COVID opt-out narrative is uniquely Gainwell's — he walked away from a breakout sophomore season to protect his family and still earned an NFL roster spot. His cards represent value investing: a contributing NFL player whose cards cost a fraction of his round 1-3 draft class peers.
2021 Panini Prizm Nick Westbrook-Ikhine RC #395
Prizm RC of the Titans' undrafted gem. Westbrook-Ikhine signed with Tennessee as an UDFA out of Indiana and worked his way into a starting role through sheer reliability. His chain-moving ability and clutch catches made him a fan favorite in Nashville.
2021-22 Donruss Optic Jose Alvarado RC #240
Optic RC. "Grand Theft Alvarado" trended nationally after his steal compilations went viral. Puerto Rican pride. Budget RC with cult following potential.
2021-22 Panini Select Javonte Smart #215 RC
Select RC. LSU product honed his game in the G League. Miami values toughness over talent — Smart brings both.
2021 Topps Jo Adell RC #43
Topps RC. Adell was ranked as high as #4 overall prospect in baseball with elite raw tools — 80-grade speed, 70-grade raw power. The Angels outfielder has the physical profile of a superstar but has struggled with consistency at the MLB level.
2021 Topps Chrome Jo Adell #167
Chrome RC. The chromium version of Adell is the more collectible rookie card. He is one of the highest-upside buy-low plays in the hobby — if he ever puts it all together, his cards go from $5 to $50 overnight. Classic boom-or-bust prospect investment.
2021 Panini Select Nick Westbrook-Ikhine RC #275
Select RC of the Indiana product. NWI earned his spot through practice squad battles and special teams contributions before emerging as a legitimate NFL receiver. His UDFA story resonates with collectors who value the underdog narrative.
2021 Panini Optic Nick Westbrook-Ikhine RC #310
Optic RC of the Titans possession receiver. The hyphenated last name stands out on every card and jersey. His affordable price point makes him one of the cheapest NFL Prizm/Select/Optic rookie trios available.
2021-22 Donruss Optic Sandro Mamukelashvili RC #210
Optic RC. Super budget way to collect an NBA player from the Republic of Georgia — cultural significance for Georgian basketball fans worldwide.
2021-22 Donruss Optic Aaron Wiggins RC #215
Optic RC. Budget buy for OKC's supporting cast. When the Thunder are winning championships, the role players' cards spike too. Wiggins is a sneaky value play.
2021-22 NBA Hoops Kessler Edwards RC #265
Hoops RC. Floor-price entry on a 6'8" wing with two-way potential. Small-school NBA players have a special place in the collecting community.
