Boarders Trading Cards are the premiere snowboarding memorabilia. This page aims to outline the most valuable stock picks from S1. With the first season over and containing the Summer, Fall, and Winter editions of the 2022-23 cycle, these picks have solidified a premium. Each edition offered seven exclusive trading cards per pack and had a low distribution, relative to market size.
From these packs we are proud to present, the 10 most valuable trading cards in the collection. If you have any of these, let us know on Instagram at @boarderstradingcards.
Card 10: The Grace Warner Summer 2022
At the time of the drop, Grace had just made an impact on the scene. This trading card is of a visionary snowboarder at Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit. Less than a year later, Grace hosted Red Bull's Heavy Metal at the same spot. With a rising career and only 150 in circulation, the Grace Warner is among the most valuable trading cards today.
Card 9: The Sparrow Knox Fall 2022 Original Issue
This trading card contains a misprint of the photographer. Although Theo Acworth was printed, James North was the true man behind the lens. The original print contained 250 cards with the mistake. Sparrow Knox, a prominent UK boarder, is blunting a dumpster while James snaps fisheye, making this card a collector's dream.
Card 8: The Autographed Sean Fitzsimons Fall 2022
Sean Fitzsimons is a burgeoning professional and had his breakout year in winter 2022, when he spun a Cinderella story to the Olympic stage. Now, Sean is a crowd favorite in Slopestyle and has developed his presence on the scene. There are a total of 250 Sean Fitzsimons cards, and a significantly smaller amount are signed.
Card 7: The Laurie Blouin Winter 2023

Mons is a fan favorite and a stable bet for contest podiums. The Mons Røisland trading card has 225 printed.
Card 3: The "Rob Roetheler" Summer 2022 Original Issue
This trading card can be identified by the misspelt last name as "Roetheler" instead of the correct spelling of "Roethler". Rob Roethler has blossomed in recent years and with the rise of his stock comes the rise of this limited edition card. Only 150 cards were printed with this mistake.
Card 2: The Autographed Valentino Guseli Fall 2022
Valentino Guseli is a young triple threat Olympic prodigy. Hailing from Australia, Valentino has a showman attitude that electrifies the crowd. At only 18 years old, Valentino has already had an Olympic Halfpipe debut. Although favoring Halfpipe, he is also extremely gifted in Slopestyle and Big Air.

Card 1: The "Luke Winklemann" Summer 2022 Original Issue
The original issue trading card can be identified by the misspelt last name of "Winklemann" rather than the correct version of "Winkelmann". Luke Winkelmann is a household name and with only 100 prints, this mistake will be the top investment to track.
