Lamine Yamal, Barcelona’s 17-year-old wunderkind, broke out as a mega-star this season, playing pivotal roles in the team’s victories in La Liga, Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup.
As excitement surrounding Yamal’s future as the sport’s next great star grows, his card market has exploded accordingly.
Over the past year, there have been $1.6 million in Yamal card sales, the second-most of any soccer player behind only Lionel Messi and a 729% increase over the previous year, according to Market Movers.
Yamal’s CardLadder index has grown more than 170% over the past year and notched a slew of record sales.
His most expensive card sale to date is the $136,640 paid for his 2024 Topps Chrome UEFA Superfractor 1/1 in March 2025. At this time last year, his top sale was $21,713.
This boom is present across all price points in the market for the young star, who had nine goals and 13 assists in 35 La Liga matches.
According to Market Movers, Yamal’s 2023 Topps Chrome UEFA Club Competitions No. 64 rookie card (raw) has leapt nearly 200% in the past two weeks alone, from less than $5 to $13.80.
His 2023 Panini MegaCracks La Liga EA Sports No. 423 in a PSA 10 has grown 155% from $220 to $562 in the past 14 days.
