ISA, the leading sports card grading industry, is proud to present the top athlete card submissions of 2023. This year has brought forth an intriguing trend in card submissions, with MLB sensation Shohei Ohtani taking the lead. Ohtani, who recently signed a jaw-dropping $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, has garnered the most submissions for grading. His dominance is evident, as his cards occupy four spots in the top 10 most graded sports cards of 2023.
Not far behind Ohtani is basketball legend Michael Jordan, firmly holding his place as a significant figure in the world of card submissions. The list of top athletes in card submissions to ISA for 2023 includes a mix of legendary and rising stars:
1. Shohei Ohtani
2. Michael Jordan
3. Julio Rodriguez
4. Trevor Lawrence
5. Joe Burrow
6. Tom Brady
7. Kobe Bryant
8. LeBron James
9. Ken Griffey Jr.
10. Victor Wembanyama
This array of names showcases a diverse range of talent, with several cards from Ohtani gracing the most graded sports cards of 2023. Moving into the realm of football, it is worth noting the remarkable 119% increase in card submissions for Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields compared to the previous year. Close behind is Jacksonville QB Trevor Lawrence, experiencing a 98% increase. Furthermore, Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce has seen a significant uptick in submissions, perhaps influenced by his high profile relationship with none other than pop sensation Taylor Swift.
Within the world of card grading, rookie cards continue to remain a hot commodity across all sports. In basketball, two rising stars shine in terms of submissions: Paolo Banchero and Victor Wembanyama. These young talents have captured the attention of collectors and enthusiasts alike. Meanwhile, in football, the spotlight falls on Kenny Pickett and Brock Purdy, who have emerged as the frontrunners for most submitted rookie cards.
