Luka Doncic Early Euroleague Jokerdeki/Jokerdecki Card ??

[NBAicons]

I have always wanted one of these but I'm not sure of a couple of things after seeing how Beckett has labeled them. I always thought this was Luka's Euroleague Jokerdeki card from 2015 or 2016. But Beckett labels them 2017-2018 and calls them Jokerdecki (spelling is different than back of card). Here is one from Goldin that sold last year:

Here is an earlier thread where another BO member showed his off as from 2016:

And here are some examples of other players graded by BGS:

My questions are:

1. What year is this card? Does anyone know for sure?

2. Why does Beckett list it as Jokerdecki when the various cards clearly state Jokerdeki on the back?

3. Does anyone know a print run or how rare these cards are?

Sorry for all of the questions but I have asked several Luka collectors about this card and I keep getting different answers. The more different answers I get the more intrigued I have become.

Thank you. Yes and Luka was 17 in 2016 -- born Feb 1999. This is consistent with what others have reported that this is a 2016 card, not 2017-18 as Beckett has it.

I don’t know much about the details of that card.. but Luka looks really young in that photo. If I were to guess, he was 16 when that photo was taken.

I agree, and he looks younger on the Jokerdeki than he does in any of the other Euroleague card photos. That's another reason I questioned the 2017–18 BGS label. I reached out to Beckett asking how they came up with 2017-18 but did not receive a response.

any Jokerdeki Joker cards?

I had this card. If you look at the stats on the card it says 7.8ppg, 4.5rpg and 4.2apg. Those stats align with his 2016-17 euroleague season

My guess would be that this is a 2016 or 2017 card but definitely not a 2015

Thank you.

Didn't know any of these got graded. They are 2016-17. I used to own a few of the lesser players. Luka looks so young it's clearly a photo from very early in his Real Madrid days. Seems like not much research or care was taken by BGS since they also have the Jokerdeki spelling wrong smh. It should be easy to get a good score on the corners with these!

Thanks, that's helpful and consistent with what I've found and been told.

Kinda funny about the corners because the one in Goldin would've scored much higher if it did not get dinged for corners.

Anyone have any information on print run / production numbers?
