What's Inside the NYC Basketball Icons Box?

12 cards spanning five decades of New York Knicks basketball - from the 1970s championship era through today's roster. Every card in this box represents a player who defined basketball in New York City.

The chase card is a PSA 8 Patrick Ewing 1986-87 Fleer #32 Rookie Card - one of the most iconic basketball cards of the 1980s and the cornerstone of any Knicks collection. Behind it sits a PSA 9 Carmelo Anthony 2003-04 Topps #223 Rookie Card from his first season as a Knick-to-be.

The modern core features Jalen Brunson's 2018-19 Panini Prizm #250 Rookie Card alongside vintage cards of Earl Monroe and Dave DeBusschere from 1971-72 Topps - teammates on the Knicks' last championship squad. Dick Barnett from the same set completes the 70s lineup.

Walt Frazier appears as a 1972-73 Topps All-Star card. The floor tier features fan favorites across eras: John Starks (1991-92 Upper Deck RC), Willis Reed (Upper Deck Legends), Bernard King (2025-26 Topps), Patrick Ewing (1990-91 SkyBox), and Amar'e Stoudemire (2002-03 Topps RC).

If your card's value falls below the 599-credit box price, the difference returns as credits automatically.

Why Knicks Fans Pick This Box

This is the only curated mystery box dedicated entirely to New York Knicks history. Vintage Topps cards from the 70s championship era are increasingly hard to source in clean condition. The PSA 8 Ewing Fleer RC alone carries significant secondary market value. Rather than hunting individual cards across eBay and COMC, this box curates the best of Knicks history with transparent access and verified results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does PSA 8 and PSA 9 mean on the graded cards?

PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) grades cards on a 1-10 scale. PSA 8 is Near Mint-Mint, PSA 9 is Mint. Both grades confirm the card's authenticity and condition through independent professional evaluation. Graded cards are sealed in tamper-proof cases and consistently command higher prices than raw (ungraded) copies.

How old are the vintage cards in this box?

The oldest cards date to 1971-72 Topps (Earl Monroe, Dave DeBusschere, Dick Barnett) and 1972-73 Topps (Walt Frazier All-Star). These are over 50 years old and represent the Knicks' last championship era. The most recent is Bernard King from 2025-26 Topps.

I'm not a Knicks fan. Can I trade for a different sports box?

Yes. Trade any pull for credits and redirect them to NBA Court Legends (league-wide), NFL Prime Time, MLB Grand Slam, or any other category on Cravin - Pokemon, MTG, tech, collectibles. Credits work platform-wide.

Does Cravin have other basketball mystery boxes?

Yes. NYC Basketball Icons focuses on Knicks history. NBA Court Legends features Panini Prizm cards of current stars and legends league-wide. NBA 90s Icons covers the golden era with Iverson and Shaq rookie cards.
