  • What Basketball Cards Will Today's 15-Year-Olds Want When They Grow Up?
    Jun 12 2026

    Max @PutnamCards explores how the next generation of basketball card collectors—those growing up during the later years of Panini and the beginning of the Fanatics era—could shape the future of the hobby.

    Will players like LeBron James and Stephen Curry become even more desirable as today’s young collectors enter their peak earning years? Will Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant remain hobby icons?

    He also discusses the different eras of basketball cards, what card categories could become future grails, and why modern concepts like Kabooms, case-hit inserts, cartoon-inspired cards, and game-dated memorabilia cards may have a bright future ahead.
