Trading cards have skyrocketed in value in the last few decades, but not everyone is buying them. Some people prefer to take their chances and buy card packs with a chance of having a valuable card. It’s a good way to save money instead of buying the card outright, but there is no guarantee one of those cards is in a valuable trading card pack.

Panini Prizm Basketball Foil Packs

In the world of basketball trading cards, some of the most valuable ones you can find are Panini Prizm cards. Panini did not release many of these packs, and the ones they did contain autographed cards and other rare Prizm cards. These packs contain only six cards, but their potential makes them worth a lot.

At JRI Cards, we have different Panini Prizm shot packs and even Panini Prizm football foil packs. Our rarest pack is the 2012 Panini Prizm basketball foil pack. 2012 was a great year for basketball, and many greats started their NBA careers. In these packs, you have the chance of getting a LeBron James or Kevin Durant Gold Prizm card that’s potentially worth over $100,000! There’s also the chance of getting a rookie card for these players:

  • Kawhi Leonard
  • Anthony Davis
  • Kyrie Irving

Look no further than Panini Prizm if you want a pack with a lot of potential. At JRI Cards, we sell one for $895, but the potential inside is almost impossible to calculate.

Bowman Chrome Football Foil Packs

Like Panini Prizm, Bowman has sold cards for a while, and you can find some valuable packs with rare editions of players that became leaders in the sport. The 2000 Bowman Chrome football foil packs are valuable now and will only grow as more collectors snatch them from circulation. This pack is particularly valuable because one card has the chance of holding a chrome Tom Brady rookie card. The Tom Brady card is currently going from $3,000 to $15,000. You can get the pack for around $500.

1st Edition Pokémon Base Packs

Valuable trading cards aren’t exclusive to sports. There are also valuable Pokémon cards and packs, and some go for a lot of money. The most recent sealed box went on auction for $384,000, and with 36 packs in a box, that’s a little over $10,000 for each pack. It’s a lot of money, but the valuable cards inside make it a steal. Plenty of other Pokémon packs go for hundreds of dollars as collectors try to get the valuable cards inside.

The world is full of valuable trading card packs, but getting your hands on these packs can be tricky. The most valuable packs are expensive, but you have options—pack and box breaks. With these breaks, you and others can pay for one card and hope that, upon opening the pack, you get the card you’ve always wanted. That’s what we do at JRI Cards, and some of the valuable packs we offer include vintage Topps football cards that are sure to be wonderful additions to your collection!
