A Steph Curry Topps Now 1/1 autographed card sold for an almost inexplicable $518,500 on Saturday night, breaking the record for the price paid for a Topps Now card.
The card came from Curry's famous "Nuit, Nuit" Olympic gold moment when the U.S. men's basketball team defeated host France on Aug. 10, 2024. Industry estimates for the card were in the $100,000 range.
Topps Now sold Olympic sets in the Summer of 2024 with the 1/1 autographed chase cards randomly sent.
The top chase — a card signed by Curry, Kevin Durant and LeBron James — has famously never been found. A Gold 1/1 of the card, unsigned, sold for $53,680 in a Goldin Auction last year.
The Curry card was received by a lucky collector and sent to PSA, where it received a 10 for the card and a 10 for the auto.
The 2024 card beat out a 2009-10 Curry National Treasures RPA out of 99, which sold Saturday night in Goldin for $317,811.
