They say records alone don’t make someone the greatest of all time, but Lewis Hamilton’s qualities go way beyond the numbers. We also think Lewis hasn’t peaked yet and neither will his sports cards. Like Jordan, his cards will hold value bearing serious controversy. Lewis’s humbleness alone sets him apart. His level of integrity is unmatched. He’s the same we saw back in 2007-08.
