Giannis Antetokounmpo Collects Own Basketball Cards? What Does This Mean for the Hobby?
Recently, Giannis Antetokounmpo showed a video on Tik Tok of him with all the basketball cards he has been collecting. What's most surprising is they are all his cards!
Let me give you 3 reasons why this is a big deal for the card collecting hobby.
#1
Brings instant validity to the card market. When the biggest names in the sport are collecting cards, it gives the card collecting industry instant credibility. Fans see this and say “wow, that must be a real legit thing.” Imagine if Babe Ruth started collecting autographed baseballs? How many fans would have been doing the same thing? A TON! The autograph market would look totally different today had that been the case. Would be more collectors into the hobby.
#2
This is the best marketing you can have. Players showing off cards of themselves to their millions of followers will increase the popularity of those cards x 10. Players are the best selling tools for their own products. We already know the NBA is light years ahead of NFL and MLB on social media. The league and players following is HUGE! Very similar marketing when you do an autograph signing and a player makes a post saying they did a signing with you. Best marketing you can do. Automatically brings credibility to your signing and reaches the exact demographic you are trying to sell your products to. Easy and free marketing for the card industry.
#3
Brings even more authenticity to the card market. Giannis showing off cards he had previously autographed shows they are legit autographs. Obviously, he remembers signing them. Authenticity is always the biggest battle when it comes to selling anything that's autographed and has not been signed in front of the customer. A player says “Yup, I signed that” is the best authenticity you can have.

Nice autograph by Cal Ripken Jr. Thank you Matt Powers and his team for this signing event.
Nice autograph. Thank you Matt Powers and his team for this signing event.
I've had this card since the age of 12. Never had the opportunity until now to get his RC signed. Thanks Matt for making this happen!!
Once again, Matt and his team delivered a smooth, professional experience in obtaining a Dustin Pedroia autograph (with authentication) to a book already containing a number of Red Sox greats’ signatures. I recommend Powers Spirts Memorabilia highly.
Great experience. Card was just as described. Excited to have this added to the collection.

Fernando Tatis Jr 2019 Topps Baseball Rookie Card RC #410 Graded PSA 9 MINT
😍 such a nice autograph! Thank you!
Thank you for another awesome autograph!
Mr. Powers delivered on my request for this Cal Ripken jr. autograph. It was a nice size clean and perfect signature better than I expected. Mr. Powers team is quick to respond with any concerns you may have and keeps you posted on your item. I will absolutely be getting more signatures through them to finish my collection. I highly recommend Powers Sports to anyone that has any doubts. I use to do send ins with Steiner sports until he sold, to me Powers picked up where they left off and I couldnt be happier. Thank you
Great experience as usual! I’ll definitely be getting more autographs in the future!!
As good as it gets

Great job by Powers Sports once again! They were able to secure a great signature from Andy Reid on my trading card, using the exact type pen and the exact location that I requested. Accuracy and quality are their top priority!

Awesome experience as usual!
Great experience! I had never gotten any autographs through a signing like this before and I had a number of questions. Someone called me right back & couldn’t have been nicer. The customer service was outstanding every step of the way & I couldn’t be happier with the Reggie Jackson autographed ticket.
