When Kevin Durant Signed His Pokémon Card

Athletes have autographed everything from sneakers to cereal boxes—but a Durant signing a Pokémon card? NBA superstar Kevin Durant recently signed a 2024 Pokémon card featuring the Bug‑type “Durant,” a nod to his own surname. The card, a Durant ex‑SSP (#236), was graded PSA 8.5 for the card and “8” for the autograph . It instantly became the most valuable Durant card on the market and went viral on social media . Collectors and commentators speculated that it might inspire more athlete‑card crossovers —imagine Michael Jordan signing a Hitmonchan next?
