Heroes of the squared circle must be enjoying Panini's headlock on WWE licensing rights as their collectibility and bidding action have exploded. This 2022 Panini Prizm WWE Black Prizm sold for $8,040 after racking up a wild 57 bids, effectively bodyslamming the previous high of $5,000 for a "Heartbreak Kid" card, per Card Ladder. With Shawn Michaels flexing in his signature pose, this copy stands alone as the definitive piece of the WWE Hall of Famer.

Hank Aaron’s 1963 season was one for the books as he led the National League in home runs (44) and RBI (130) while stealing a career-high 31 bases for the Milwaukee Braves. His campaign is reflected in this superb 1963 Topps #390 collectible, graded PSA 9. Of the 3,000+ copies validated by PSA, just one has achieved a higher grade. With over 70 bids logged in Goldin's recent Weekly Auction, Aaron continues to reinforce his status as a showcase cornerstone.

In a word, iconic. It’s only fitting that one of the most definitive modern basketball rookie cards features one of the smoothest pure shooters releasing a picture-perfect jump shot. One of fewer than 200 copies to receive a top PSA 10, this Kevin Durant piece received more than 50 bids and once again proved Durant's supreme collectibility. As the two-time NBA Finals Most Valuable Player continues to chase greatness, expect this card to only climb in prestige and esteem.
