Panini Instant cards featuring LeBron and Bronny James were released Thursday, commemorating the duo making history last week as the first father and son to play in an NBA game together.
The cards are priced starting at $9.99 for a base card (available for a limited time), all the way up to $1,299.99 for the Blue Viper 1/1, which sold out in less than three minutes after Panini opened its site to customers.
Bronny, 20, appeared alongside his 39-year-old father in the Lakers' first game of the season, playing for less than three minutes and shooting 0-for-2 from the field. He appeared in his second game Wednesday, scoring his first NBA basket in Cleveland. He kept the net from the basket after the game.
The Lakers took the 6-foot-2 guard with the 55th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, although many draft experts believe he lacks the necessary potential to play in the league.
Panini has had the license to produce NBA trading cards since 2009 and will be able to include the Lakers logo on the cards, unlike other card companies who are forced to airbrush them out when manufacturing cards. However, Panini will not be offering any autographed cards from the James’ as those rights are now held by Fanatics, which will also take over the NBA license beginning in 2026.
To date, the most famous and most valuable collectible feature the father and son is the 2023 Bowman U Chrome Superfractor 1/1 autographed by both, which sold for $114,000 back in March.
