Top 5 Allen Iverson Card Sales of All Time

Allen Iverson’s cardboard legacy mirrors his on-court persona—electrifying, defiantly individual, and impossible to ignore. From late-’90s acetate experiments to modern Logoman showpieces, the Answer’s highest-end cards reveal why collectors still chase his swagger a quarter-century later.

1. 1997 SkyBox E-X2001 Essential Credentials Now  /3

Price: $701,500 (1/31/25)

Serial-numbered to Iverson’s card number—just three copies—the Essential Credentials Now parallel is a master class in scarcity. A translucent acetate core flashes emerald-green edges that chip if you so much as breathe on them, so even mid-grade examples feel like trophies. In a hobby where print runs of ten are celebrated, a pop-three parallel that also carries the era’s avant-garde design is pure bragging rights.

2. 2007 UD Exquisite All-NBA Access Triple Logoman 1/1 (Iverson / Bryant / Marbury)

Price: $146,400 (3/13/22)

Exquisite’s triple-shield aligns Iverson with Kobe Bryant and Stephon Marbury on one luxurious slab of 130-point cardstock. Each player’s NBA logo patch sits in perfect symmetry beneath full-bleed photography—an engineering feat that still defines premium patch design. With only a single copy in the world, the card draws collectors from three fan bases and embodies the game-used, high-gloss opulence that made Exquisite the gold standard for modern memorabilia issues.

3. 2016 Panini National Treasures Logoman Autograph 1/1

Price: $79,200 (8/10/21)

National Treasures gave Iverson his first on-card autograph paired with a full NBA shield, and the Logoman Autographs checklist prints exactly one of each player. The 130-point stock and matte finish are notorious for edge nicks, so a clean copy feels almost mythical. Add the blue-ink signature dead-center over the red-white-blue patch and you have Iverson’s modern grail—combining pack-pulled provenance with the timeless allure of the league’s emblem.

4. 1997 Metal Universe Precious Metal Gems Red /100

Price: $67,200 (6/25/22)

The PMG Red is the quintessential ’90s parallel—full-bleed foil that scratches if you glance at it, serial-numbering that redefined rarity, and a comic-book backdrop that screams era-correct attitude. Collectors love that only ninety of the hundred survive in red (the first ten were green), and Card Ladder reports a microscopic graded population, proof that most have succumbed to surface wear or remain locked in vaults. Owning even a mid-grade copy is a badge of honor in the ultra-competitive PMG world.

5. 1996 Topps Chrome Refractor

Price: $61,000 (3/16/21)

Topps Chrome’s debut set launched the refractor craze, and Iverson’s rookie refractor sits at its epicenter. Centering quirks and roller-line print defects plague this issue, which explains a PSA-10 population of just 36 despite nearly three decades of submissions. The rainbow sheen, iconic rookie pose, and inaugural Chrome pedigree make it the evergreen “entry grail” for new AI collectors—and a liquidity anchor for anyone building a ’96 draft-class showcase.

Final Thoughts

From a print-run of three to a one-of-one triple-shield, Iverson’s top cards underscore how design innovation and razor-thin supply keep his market vibrant. Each piece here captures a different facet of his legend—flash, fearlessness, and the uncompromising individuality that still resonates with collectors today.
