Members of RhodyBreakers, a group within the Baseball Cards of Rhode Island card shop, unpacked the prized rookie card of the Maine native Monday night during a live stream<\/a>.<\/p>\n The card has drawn attention across the world of sports collectibles. It features a patch from the jersey Flagg wore during the first half of his NBA debut with the Dallas Mavericks<\/a>, as well as his signature after he autographed the card at Fanatics Fest<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n A similar, one-of-a-kind rookie card for Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes fetched $1.11 million<\/a> last year, and Flagg’s card is expected to exceed that value after he was named the NBA’s Rookie of the Year<\/a> for 2025-26.<\/p>\n The Mavericks have made a push to acquire the card. The team offered a “1 of 1 for 32” package that includes the following:<\/p>\n two lower level season tickets for 32 years<\/p>\n a signed Cooper Flagg game-worn jersey<\/p>\n a postgame photo with Flagg<\/p>\n a private photoshoot with the NBA Rookie of the Year Trophy and the Larry O’Brien Trophy<\/p>\n a VIP tour of the Mavericks’ practice facility and American Airlines Center with a team meet-and-greet<\/p>\n a “private basketball experience” for up to 10 guests at American Airlines Center<\/p>\n a VIP experience at the Mavericks’ road game in Boston, including airfare, hotel and game tickets for the Mavericks-Celtics game<\/p>\n The Flagg card was released as part of the 2026 Topps Chrome Update Basketball set, which features rookie debut patch autograph cards from the 2025 NBA Draft class.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDallas Mavericks rookie Cooper dropped 51 points in a loss to the Orlando Magic to become the youngest NBA player to score 50 points in a game.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A coveted Cooper Flagg rookie card was found in his home region of New England.
