Overview
- The Dallas Mavericks publicly announced the bounty on Thursday, offering two premium lower-level season tickets for 32 years plus a signed game-worn Flagg rookie jersey, postgame photo, private photoshoot with trophies, VIP facility tour, a private arena experience and a road-trip package in exchange for the one-of-one Cooper Flagg Rookie Debut Patch Autograph card.
- Topps issued the Flagg card as a redemption in the 2026 Topps Chrome Update set, meaning a pack buyer may receive a redemption voucher that must be exchanged with Topps to obtain the finished, signed card that contains the patch from Flagg’s Oct. 22, 2025 NBA debut.
- Reporting from multiple outlets says several outside parties have already placed bounties of at least $1 million for whoever pulls the Flagg redemption, creating a direct choice for the finder between immediate cash and the Mavericks’ long-term experiential package.
- Market precedent strengthens the Flagg card’s value case: Paul Skenes’ one-of-one Rookie Debut Patch Autograph sold for $1.11 million in March 2025, and experts cited in coverage say Flagg’s card could command seven figures if it reaches auction.
- Flagg personally signed the card at Fanatics Fest and publicly urged the finder to keep it, a factor that could shape whether the card stays private as a team fan experience or goes to an auction that would produce a large, liquid sale.
