“Ghost Adventures” celebrity Zak Bagans isn’t just focused on paranormal experiences; he’s also an avid sports enthusiast who doesn’t hold back when it comes to acquiring valuable sports collectibles.
Bagans revealed to TMZ that he spent a staggering $160,000 at Goldin Auctions to secure the exclusive NBA Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero Best 1/1 rookie card, a coveted item for any sports collector.
Furthermore, the card bears Banchero’s signature in elegant blue ink, significantly enhancing its intrinsic value.
Bagans’ strategic approach involves viewing this acquisition as a potentially lucrative long-term investment, foreseeing a possible multi-million dollar value if Banchero secures an MVP title or future championships. An astute financial move indeed!
Interestingly, the initial owner of this remarkable NBA rookie card, prior to its auction debut, was none other than Jonny Venters, the distinguished Atlanta Braves All-Star pitcher!

Bagans’ prominent presence in the sports collectibles realm is undeniable, to the extent that he is planning to develop an entire TV series around this passion. Should his paranormal investigations encounter a hurdle, he has a solid contingency plan in the thrilling world of sports memorabilia!
