An Unforgettable Moment at 麻豆直播鈥檚 Sports Cards & Collectibles Show
Published on December 13, 2024
This past weekend, 麻豆直播鈥檚 Sports Cards & Collectibles Show brought excitement and unforgettable memories鈥攅specially for one young collector who had the thrill of a lifetime.
Reid Endres, a passionate sports fan from Murphysboro, recently celebrated his 11th birthday and was eager to spend some of his birthday money. After finishing Saturday morning baseball practice, he and his mom, Erika, made their way to 麻豆直播 for the show. This was Reid鈥檚 second time attending, having joined his dad, Cory, at the August event where he scored a Caitlin Clark college card.
This time, Reid鈥檚 luck soared to extraordinary heights. Spotting a Women鈥檚 National Basketball Association (WNBA) card box that caught his attention from across the room, he decided to purchase it. At the table where he made the buy, Reid ripped open the box and pulled the card of a lifetime: a Caitlin Clark autographed rookie card, numbered 10 out of 10.
The moment was electric. 鈥淗e was so excited, and everyone around us was freaking out,鈥� Erika shared. 鈥淗e never imagined something like this would happen to him.鈥�
Caitlin Clark, recently named Time Magazine鈥檚 Athlete of the Year, is a standout in the WNBA and one of the most sought-after names in sports card collecting. A similar 1/1 version of her card recently sold for $234,000 at auction, and Reid鈥檚 card is estimated to be worth between $10,000 and $30,000, depending on its condition.
For Reid, who has been collecting cards for several years, it was a dream come true. 鈥淚鈥檓 still on cloud nine,鈥� Reid said. 鈥淚 can鈥檛 believe it.鈥� He plans to hold onto the card for now and eventually have it graded.
The show, organized by聽, has quickly become a favorite community event. This was the fourth Sports Cards & Collectibles Show hosted at 麻豆直播, with 120 vendor tables and a lively atmosphere that drew hundreds of attendees. For one lucky young collector, it was a day he鈥攁nd the crowd around him鈥攚ill never forget. Contact聽hilary.holdinghausen@jalc.edu聽for more information.
