Naasir Cunningham Gets First Basketball Card a Day After Signing with Overtime Elite
Naasir Cunningham isn’t scheduled to graduate from high school until 2024. But a day after signing with Overtime Elite, the top recruit in the country has his first basketball card.
It’s part of 2022 Topps Now OTE, a print-to-order set. Kicking off the line’s second year, Cunningham’s card can be ordered directly from the Topps website for one week, through May 3.
Rainbow Foil parallels numbered to 25 will be randomly included in some orders as a bonus. They do will not replace the base card.
Individual copies are $9.99. However collectors can get discounts for lots of five, 10 and 20 copies. eBay is another option with multiple sellers offering individual copies during the pre-sale window for under $6.
Cunningham is the first athlete to sign with OTE through a scholarship instead of taking a salary. This means that he is still eligible to head to college after he graduates. However, with new NIL rules, Cunningham can still sign other deals and sponsorships.
I grabbed a couple of blasters of Topps Chrome Overtime Elite not too long ago and pulled a gold auto/50 … I’m sort of treating these like Bowman baseball cards and will look at them every few months to see who else is taking off, LOL
