Today is a deep dive into the 1948 Bowman Rookie George Mikan Original Photo that will IPO at Collectable on April 13th, 2021 at 1 PM EST. Follow me on Twitter for my latest insights and analysis. What is the 1948 Bowman Rookie George Mikan Original Photo?This is is an original photograph of NBA Hall of Famer George Mikan that was used as the basis for his 1948 Bowman Rookie card. Importantly, this is a Type I photograph, which is defined by PSA as: A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during the period (within approximately two years of when the picture was taken). Type I photographs are the originals and the most valuable. As it was taken to be featured in the Sporting News, the exact photographer is not identified. It is signed, faintly, by Mikan, in blue ink, measures 8" x 10" and has been graded as Authentic by PSA. If you haven't read this article the last couple of times we linked to it, it's worth doing so -- it's a good overview of the nascent sports photography market. It IPOs on Collectable at 1 PM EST on April 13th for $53,500. The consignor is holding $25,000 in retained equity, leaving $28,500 in shares. Cultural RelevanceGeorge Mikan was the original Big Man, predating the modern NBA and is considered the first true superstar in professional basketball. Without his star power in its early seasons, the NBA may never have succeeded. A member of the Minneapolis Lakers, his teams won 4 of the first 5 NBA titles (the one year they didn't, Mikan fractured his leg), and prior to that, the Lakers won 3 straight titles in the NBA predecessors, the NBL and BAA. He was elected to the first four NBA All-Star teams, was a three-time scoring champ, was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1959 and was named of the 50 greatest players in NBA history in 1996. Inferred Value - $30K+[Detailed Valuation available to Insiders Only] Recent Growth Trend[Insiders Only] Growth Outlook and Future CatalystsIf original photographs tied to rookie cards do become a coveted category, this one could certainly see a boost in value. It is scarce but not a 1/1 -- it is very difficult to know how many other Type 1 photographs exist -- I was able to track down two others (one signed, one not) besides the Collectable one and the one that sold recently at Heritage. There's no particular reason that Mikan items will see a specific boost, however. Category StrengthThe Sports Memorabilia category had a -8% ROI in Q12021. Subcategory Strength[Insiders Only] Risk Profile[Insiders Only] Asset LiquidityThis will have a roughly 90 day lockup period then will trade daily. Platform Risk[Insiders Only] IntangiblesWhile the retained equity level is under 50%, it's close enough that the consignor is going to have all the power on any buyout opportunities.
