For the first time ever, LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant — three of the greatest basketball players of the 21st century — took the court as teammates at the Paris Olympics. The sight of the three legends playing together gave fans a rare treat they’ll likely never forget, much like when Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird linked up as part of the 1992 Dream Team in Barcelona.

In recent years, cards featuring the likes of Jordan and Kobe Bryant have sold at auctions for more than seven figures. Last December, a Topps Bryant rookie card
