While Tyrese Haliburton was leading his Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks, bidders were facing off at Goldin Auctions for one of his top rookie cards, culminating in an eye-popping new record.
Haliburton’s 2020 Panini Prizm Black 1/1 sold for $119,560 Saturday night, easily topping the previous record for a solo Haliburton card of $84,000.
Haliburton's card market has surged with his playoff heroics on full display, especially during the Eastern Conference Finals when he hit a game-tying shot in Game 1 to cap a historic comeback.
Over the past 30 days, Haliburton’s sales volume is up 404%, according to data tool Market Movers, with his average sale price up 23%. Card Ladder's Haliburton Index, which is made up of 179 cards considered indicative of his market, is up 13% over the past three months.
Haliburton’s 2020 Prizm Silver PSA 10 is up 130% over the past three months, going from $185 to $425 with 37 sales over the period.
Time will tell if his playoff rise will continue as he makes his first NBA Finals appearance against league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
