It didn’t take long for the biggest card from 2024-25 Bowman Chrome University Basketball to surface—and it came from the heart of hobby country. Just one week after release, the Cooper Flagg 1-of-1 Superfractor Autograph was pulled at Score More Sports, a local card shop located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
The pull came during a “personal case” break—meaning one collector went all in, cracking open an entire case of the product solo. What they found wasn’t just any hit. It was the hit: Flagg’s First Bowman Chrome Superfractor Auto, complete with a striking gold swirl, a bold signature, and a one-of-a-kind inscription.
Even before the release of 2024-25 Bowman Chrome U, collectors had already identified the Cooper Flagg Superfractor Auto as the card to chase. Flagg has been under the national spotlight since his high school days, and with his freshman year at Duke turning into a headline-making season—culminating in a Final Four run and National Player of the Year honors—the market for his cards has only intensified.
And now, his first pack-pulled, fully licensed autograph in a Duke uniform is off the board. Not just any autograph—the 1-of-1.
The value of a 1/1 card like this is nearly impossible to pin down. With no direct comparables, it simply comes down to how much someone is willing to pay. However, some precedent exists: another Flagg Superfractor, his 2024 Topps Chrome McDonald's All-American Auto 1/1 graded PSA 10, sold for $84,500 at Goldin Auctions.
That was before March Madness, before the award wins, and before the hype machine reached its current peak. With all that momentum—and this card featuring Flagg in his Duke jersey—some collectors believe this Superfractor could fetch well into six figures if it ever hits the open market.
While the Superfractor design alone makes the card a grail, it’s what Flagg wrote next to his signature that sets this one apart. Beneath the ink, he added the inscription “From the 207”—a reference to Maine’s area code and a tribute to his home state.
Before the bright lights of college basketball, Cooper Flagg made waves at Nokomis Regional High School in Newport, Maine. There, he became the first freshman in state history to win the Maine Gatorade Player of the Year award and led his team to a state championship. That humble beginning now lives in gold-etched glory, tied forever to this rarest of Flagg cards.
For the collector who pulled it, this card is more than cardboard and chrome. It marks a moment—both in hobby history and in the rise of one of basketball’s most promising talents. And for Score More Sports, it’s the kind of local shop legend that gets retold for years.
While the card’s final destination remains unknown for now—whether it lands in a private collection or finds its way to the auction block—there’s no denying it represents one of the biggest hobby moments of 2024.
