The first rookie card to be produced featuring Jayson Tatum in a Celtics uniform, 2017-18 NBA Hoops #253 is an affordable starting point that sells for around $50 ungraded. For those after rarer alternatives, the Black (1/1), the Gold (/10), the Artist Proof (/25), and the Green (/99) Hoops rookies are cards that hold significant value, particularly in higher grade.

Numbered to 125, the 2017-18 Panini Contenders #103 autograph card is highly sought after, both for its rarity and the iconic Contenders ticket design. In addition, it is the first on-card autograph of each rookie player. In March of 2022, a BGS 9-graded /65 Playoff Ticket parallel of the issue sold for nearly $2,500.

Among the most sought after Tatum rookie issues is the National Treasures rookie patch auto (RPA) #103 /99, which contains a signature and a game-used piece of his Celtics Jersey. A BGS 8 example of the sought-after card featuring the “B” in Boston in the patch sold in April, 2022, for more than $20,000.
