🔥 THE COOPER FLAGG 1/1 BOUNTY WAR 🔥
Well… the card has officially been FOUND.
The Cooper Flagg 1/1 NBA Debut Patch Autograph from 2025-26 Topps Chrome Update Basketball was pulled by RhodyBreakers — and now the biggest question in the Hobbi is:
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE THE PERSON WHO PULLED IT?
Because before the card was even found, the offers were getting CRAZY.
Here are some of the biggest bounties/offers that have been reported:
GOLDIN — $1.5 MILLION CASH ADVANCE
Ken Goldin offered the owner a $1.5M cash advance if they consign the card to Goldin.
The plan? Take it to auction and try to get the owner somewhere in the $3M-$5M range.
Important distinction: this isn’t simply a $1.5M purchase offer. It’s a cash advance tied to a Goldin consignment.SHERIPSCARDS — $2 MILLION A straight $2M bounty was publicly posted for the Flagg 1/1 before it was pulled.
ONLYRIPS — $2.25 MILLION OnlyRips came in with a $2.25M bounty for the card.
That’s a LOT of ripping. 😂
ALT — $3 MILLION AND CLIMBING
Alt launched a Bounty Auction for the card.
The current bid is $3M, or $3.6M including the buyer’s premium, with the auction still having time remaining.
This is particularly interesting because these are verified bids rather than just numbers being thrown around on social media.
DALLAS MAVERICKS — 32 YEARS OF PREMIUM SEATS + THE FULL EXPERIENCE
The Mavericks went a completely different direction.
Their offer includes:
Two premium lower-level season tickets for 32 YEARSSigned, game-worn Cooper Flagg rookie jersey
Postgame photo with Cooper
Private photo shoot with Cooper + his Rookie of the Year trophy + the Mavs championship trophy
VIP practice facility tour and team meet & greet
Private basketball experience at American Airlines Center for up to 10 people
Airfare, hotel and tickets to see Dallas play Boston on the road
The 32 years obviously ties directly to Flagg’s #32.
And honestly… that’s one of the most unique card bounties I’ve ever seen.
AND THEN THERE’S THE $3.5M OFFER
According to Sports Illustrated, RhodyBreakers said a vetted, legitimate offer of $3.5 MILLION was presented after the card was pulled.
If that’s a real executable offer, we’re officially talking about life-changing money.
And that’s what makes this so fascinating.
If YOU were the person who hit the Cooper Flagg 1/1…
Are you taking:
$2M cash?
$2.25M?
$3.5M?
The Mavericks’ 32-year package?
Taking the Goldin advance and letting the auction decide?
Or consigning it to Alt and letting the bidding war play out?
Personally, I’m probably taking the card to a major auction.
You only get ONE Cooper Flagg NBA Debut Patch Auto 1/1.
And we’re talking about the Rookie of the Year, the first NBA Debut Patch Auto era for Topps basketball, his actual debut jersey patch AND his autograph.
The crazy part?
The person who pulled it reportedly paid just $515 for the Mavericks spot.</div><div>$515 → potentially MILLIONS.
That is the kind of pull that makes you stare at the card for 30 minutes wondering if you’re actually awake. 😂
So…
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE FLAGG 1/1?
Sell immediately?
Auction?
Take the Mavs deal?
Or put it in the vault and forget it exists for 20 years?
I want to hear what everyone would do -

Yeah I am being honest if it were me I was taking the Mavs deal especially since I am a Spurs fan and you can give your seats as a season ticket holder to people if you cant make the game. So you could either hook up friends with tickets or keep them for yourself. Especially since airfare and everything is included. Thats a sweet deal to me.

That’s actually a pretty cool reason to have the Jeter card. Going to one of his last games makes it way more personal than just picking up another Jeter card. And yeah, you can never really go wrong with Griffey cards

Yeah i figured it would have taken a little longer to find.. Crazy what people where pitching for bountys. Though i think the card will find itself with kevin o leary and his partners if it hasnt been sold already.. Its a shame that cards like these wont ever be able to end up in some young collectors pc.
-
Yeah it is kinda nuts. Like cool it gets found but you rarely hear of kids finding them
-
Yeah exactly. Kids finding a monster card like that would be such a cool story. Most of the time it seems like the big pulls end up going straight into the hands of serious collectors or investors.
-
that they do. pulled on live breaks or in select hobby shops. i know and get that shops and such are spending big bucks and buying many cases at a time. but i think they really should spread out better the case hits and some of the nice pulls to retail products and such.. obviously theres no real way to make them get pulled by kids. Actually brain stormed.. what if card companies created a packs that only could be sold to kids at card shops. that could be genius way to get cool cards into kids hands more then adults at times.

Honestly i wish kids got to pull more of these kinds of cards.. Yes us adults would love to pull some grail card but i think kids for sure should get that opportunity. and i dont know i would sell right from the get go. id probably hold on to it for a few
-
Yeah, I agree. There’s something special about a kid pulling a card that they’ll probably remember for the rest of their life. I’d probably hold onto it too, at least for a while. You can always sell it later, but once it’s gone you can’t really get that first-pull experience back.

Yeah, that’s the weird part of cards at that level. Once you’re talking six or seven figures, it almost stops feeling like a collectible and becomes an investment piece. Would be pretty cool if something that big somehow ended up with a collector who genuinely just loves the card.
