7 Spectacular Jaylen Brown cards, including an affordable case hit
In this story:
Jaylen Brown notched his second career 50-point game on January 3rd, leading the Celtics to a blowout win over the Clippers. Brown was unstoppable, connecting on 18 of 26 shots, including 6 for 10 from behind the arc. What's most impressive is that Brown only needed 35 minutes to drop 50.
Brown's hot hand cooled off against the Chicago Bulls, but he's still having the best season of his career. Below we take a look at 7 fantastic cards of the Celtics dynamic small forward.

2024 Donruss Optic Downtown Gold #15
Downtown Jaylen Brown just has a great ring to it, and it also happens to be the highest selling card of his in the last few weeks. The PSA 10 Gold (/10) copy above sold for $5,145 on December 26, 2025 according to Card Ladder.
The Downtown inserts are known for featuring key elements of each team's city, although as a Boston native I'm struggling to place which Boston landmark(s) is being highlighted. Maybe it's the Charles River Dam? Cambridge would be an apt background for Brown, since he spends some of his off time at MIT helping create STEM programs for middle and high school students.
2025-26 Topps Chrome Rock Stars #RS-8
If you're looking for a rare but wildly affordable case hit featuring the C's 2025-26 leading scorer, we've got you covered with a reboot of the Topps Chrome Rock Stars insert. An ungraded copy recently sold for $26 on January 4, 2026. The 4-time All-Star is a shoo-in for an All-Star spot again this year, so grabbing a case hit at these prices could be a very smart move.

The Gold Prizms have been gaining significant momentum among the collecting community with some record sales in 2025, including a LeBron James non-rookie Gold Prizm that sold for nearly $800K in September. So naturally one of JB's top selling cards is the above PSA 10 2016 Panini Prizm Gold rookie card #44.

The PSA 5 2016 Panini Immaculate Collection Rookie Autograph Logoman, pictured above, is the second-highest selling Brown card to date. At its peak this card sold for $34.5K in August, 2025.

It's a beautiful one-of-one autograph logoman card despite the rough grade. Its difficult to say definitively which one is better, this one or the one below.
