EDITOR’S NOTE
Violet Summers owns a collection of professional basketball cards worth more than 100 grand.
The avid collector has acquired about 60 Ja Morant cards with the late Young Dolph in the background sitting in the front row. Each one goes for about $500.
A former season ticket holder for the Phoenix Suns, our July cover girl also loves collecting Kevin Durant cards—the perennial NBA All-Star forward even follows Violet on Instagram. Summers tells AVN she also has a Michael Jordan rookie card and several Trae Young
cards.
“I collect very few people just to keep me grounded so I’m not just having a crazy amount
of cards,” she says.
“I’ve been hopping on eBay lately and just selling some cards because I unbox a lot. I go
to local card stores and trade. So I’m kind of making a little bit of a side gig out of that, too. And it’s pretty fun.
“It’s like visual stocks for me.”
Violet this year started parlaying her passion for card collecting into her fan offerings. “I’ve started making like a Violet custom card collection and they’re really cool actually,”
she tells me. “Some of them are like clean on the front and then the same photoset—but nude on the back. And I’ll sign them. I haven’t sold any yet but I’ve been doing raffles and giveaways on my [OnlyFans] lives and people really like them, so...I’m excited to continue with it.”
If someone wins her raffle, she ships the Violet custom card out herself—sometimes she even kisses it.
