The rare collectible is seeded as a redemption card inside packs of Topps\u2019 2025\u20132026 Chrome Update Basketball. The card features a player-worn patch cut directly from the jersey Flagg wore during his NBA regular-season debut against the San Antonio Spurs, paired with his official signature.<\/p>\n
To entice the finder, the Mavericks structured a formal trade proposal for the card. According to the team’s official announcement, the bounty is headlined by two premium lower-level season tickets for the next 32 years\u2014a timeline selected to honor Flagg\u2019s No. 32 jersey.<\/p>\n
In addition to three decades of tickets, the team’s offer includes a signed, game-worn rookie jersey from Flagg, a postgame photo with the Rookie of the Year winner, and a private photo shoot with both the ROTY trophy and the 2011 Larry O\u2019Brien Championship trophy. The package also features a VIP tour of the team’s practice facility, a full team meet-and-greet, a private basketball experience for up to 10 guests on the floor at American Airlines Center, and an all-expenses-paid road trip to see Dallas face the Boston Celtics.<\/p>\n
Sports card industry analysts at Sports Card Investor estimate the total monetary value of the Mavericks’ experiential bounty package at $800,000 to $1.2 million.
