Three lucky sports card collectors are $2.4 million richer, and poor Drake is left lamenting about what could have been.

The super-rare LeBron James "Triple Logoman" card from Panini has sold at auction for $2.4 million just five months after the card was released. The sale price is also a record for the most spent on a card found in the same year. 

While older cards are typically the most valuable in sports collectibles, the Logoman cards are unique. Panini only produced one Triple Logoman card for James. It features three NBA logos cut from jerseys he wore with his three franchises, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Miami Heat, and the Los Angeles Lakers.

The LeBron card is just the fifth Triple Logoman card created and is the first to feature a single player. The first four featured logos from the jerseys of three players and a Zion Williamson Single Logoman card sold in 2021 for $234,000.

Goldin Auctions founder and executive chairman Ken Goldin called the LeBron card "The Holy Grail of modern cards," according to USA Today.

The Logoman cards have quickly become some of the hottest in the industry.

In March, Drake revealed on his Instagram story that he had acquired 14 cases from the 2020-21 Panini Flawless set. Each one contained 10 cards, and at the time, they were selling for about $15,000 each, which means Drake spent about $200,000 looking for the LeBron card.

Drake was not successful, as the folks at Backyard Breaks found the card. It was pulled from a case purchased by three investors who each acquired a stake, according to USA Today.
