Raw prices are ungraded. PSA 10 prices are slabbed and verified from eBay completed sales. All prices June 2026.
01
Raw-to-PSA-10 Premium
~8.5×
The premier Cooper Flagg rookie card and the one most collectors and investors target. Topps Chrome returns to the NBA for the first time in years, making this the most liquid and widely collected RC format. The Silver Refractor #251 is the base Chrome parallel — no print limit, but the chromium finish, refractor technology, and Topps brand prestige make it the flagship card of Flagg's rookie year.
PSA 10 copies average $2,165 across 94 tracked sales, with a high of $3,383. That's a ~8.5x raw-to-PSA-10 premium — one of the strongest grading multipliers on any modern NBA card. If you can pull a well-centered copy from a pack, the grading math is compelling.
Verdict: Buy. Most liquid Flagg card, strongest grading premium, deepest market. The entry point for serious collectors.
02
Raw estimate
$5,000–$8,000
The Mavericks Blue Color Match variant is the most coveted numbered parallel in the set — and for good reason. Blue perfectly matches Dallas's team colors, making it the definitive team collector card. Numbered to just 150, a PSA 9 last sold for $14,999. Only 150 copies exist total.
This is an advanced collector card — the price point puts it out of reach for most buyers but the scarcity and team color alignment make it one of the strongest long-term hold candidates in the entire Flagg rookie universe.
Verdict: Strong hold / advanced buy. Only 150 exist. Mavericks color match. PSA 9 at $15K with room to grow as Flagg's career develops.
03
PSA 9 (eBay sold)
$80–$150
This is literally Cooper Flagg's first-ever professional card — issued the night he was selected #1 overall. The print run of 43,182 makes it widely accessible and the raw price of $25–$50 is the lowest entry point for any legitimate Flagg RC.
Historical significance is real — Draft Night cards from #1 picks have consistently held value and appreciated over time regardless of print run. This is the beginner buy for anyone who wants a piece of Flagg's rookie year without the Chrome price tag.
Verdict: Buy for beginners. Lowest cost entry point. First-ever Flagg card. Historical significance regardless of print run size.
04
PSA 10 (eBay sold)
$50–$100
The flagship Topps base card is the most affordable Flagg RC available. The grading math only works if you have a pristine copy — a PSA 10 at $50–$100 nets you $0–$50 after $50 grading fees, only if you hit a 10. Best use case: grab a raw copy as a low-cost collectible. Don't grade unless submitting in a bulk batch at $25/card.
Verdict: Buy raw only. Fun low-cost collectible. Bulk grading only — the math doesn't work at Economy tier.
05
Superfractor Auto 1/1
$180,000
Crystallized /25 (May 2026)
$7,600
The top of the Flagg market is stratospheric. For most collectors these are watch-only. But for serious investors, numbered autos in the /25–/99 range ($2,000–$15,000) represent the best balance of scarcity and liquidity. Low-numbered Flagg autos are the type of card that can 5–10x if he wins an MVP or title in his first few years.
Verdict: Watch / elite investors only. Numbered autos /25–/99 are the sweet spot if you have the budget. 1/1s are generational holds.
