Yeah lol to even think about comparing these to PMGs for a millisecond is insanity. Design-wise there is literally nothing desirable about those cards whatsoever.

These kind of remind me of the 2008 skybox ruby /50. Equally easy to overlook in that they're both barely distinguishable from the base. The hobby has a history of overlooking rare but aesthetically unappealing sets like this but people have had success pumping worse sets than this so who knows.

Maybe to you. But some of us appreciate clean designs and overlooked rarity like this. Prizm base cards can sell for thousands, and there is absolutely nothing inherently desirable about those.

Its just a different color foil and the panini knight logo.

Nice pick-ups! Durant stuff has been underpriced (or unloved) for some time. Back in May, I bought the 12-13 Black Knight /10 for $35. His RCs have taken off, but there are still plenty of good deals to be had elsewhere.

Hype...haha

I actually pulled and graded most of these with the exception of the Red Knight way before the HYPE. I thought they were unique cards and am glad I held on to them. I welcome any chatter...

The Giannis was selling for about $30 a mere two years ago. People knew about them, and just did not care that much. Someone then puts a graded one on eBay for like $2k, it sits forever, then others started trying it. HYPE is absolutely what has driven these sales, not an organic desire to own these cards that drove prices up. That’s great if you like them. Collect what you like, that’s what I do.

The Red Knights are very rare. 7 years later, and I haven't sniffed one of my common PC player.

You could say that about literally any card released more than a year ago.

I wish...lol....but sure, then you add the whole 2020 sneakerhead cesspool insanity on top, where you just name a price and someone will pay it. But I mean, Giannis was already a big deal, and most of his cards were commanding lots of $$.

My guess after reading a few articles and looking at pops is
Gold knight print run maybe /50
Red knight maybe as low as /10

That sounds about right. The red knights are virtually impossible to find.

I think that's partly true, but player collectors still care. A LeBron red knight came up with a high BIN a year or so ago and I really wanted it for my PC, so agreed to what was probably a pretty steep price. Would be happy to pay it again because I haven't seen one pop up since.

The skybox premium Ruby is perfect comparison to Gold knights. Much more comparable than pmg.

My LeBron has a shine over it. It's worth $30000 explain that

True. LeBron chrome went 10 times in 12 months. So did every prizm silver of every rookie ever made

The 1996-97 Ruby version. Sure. Someone else also mentioned the 2008-09 version.

Same! One of the top cards on my wantlist. A main reason being it is the only unnumbered card that I do not have of my guy!

Got my Lebron red knight for 0.99 in 2019, first one I've ever seen!

So, funny story. I bought the $600 card. Had to have one. The next week I spotted another one (!) in an auction with a terrible description (at that point, I was checking all LeBron auctions) and I got a second copy for $7.64. They are both at BGS, but should be back soon. Will post them both on here when they return.
