[Saba Sports News] According to US media, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is keeping a close eye on a unique 1-of-1 star card from Topps. The card is the only one in the world that also features signatures from LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry. Giannis took to social media to publicly offer $150,000 for the card, later saying, “Whatever it costs, I’m willing to pay double that!” Some fans have speculated that the card could fetch up to $500,000, and if so, Antetokounga could bid as much as $1 million.

Previously, ESPN’s McMenamin reported that Topps plans to launch a Paris Olympic-themed star card for James, Durant and Curry. The basic card, which shows a photo of three players in Team USA’s red, white and blue uniforms, costs $11.99. Topps will send the extremely rare signature card to one of the lucky people who bought the basic card at random.
“What’s special about this card is that it’s not just a regular card, it’s a signed version,” Topps Vice President Vince Luraschi said in an interview. While there are many different signed cards in the basketball trading card market, this is the first time James, Durant, and Curry have all signed on the same card, which makes it very unique.”
