Finding a Pelicans gift for your dad does not have to be a scroll through generic team gear. Whether he grew up watching Baron Davis and Peja Stojakovic in the early days, followed Anthony Davis through the Brow era, or is all in on Zion Williamson now, there are a few things that actually hit. Here is what to look at.
Zion Williamson 8-Card Plaque
This is the centerpiece pick. Eight licensed Zion cards, pulled from Donruss, Hoops, and Fleer sets across multiple seasons, mounted and framed in a 12x15 display. It is the kind of thing that goes on the wall in the fan cave and stays there. Zion is the face of this franchise, and a plaque covering multiple years of his card history tells that story without saying a word. Ships fast and comes ready to hang.

2024-25 NBA Hoops Factory Sealed Pelicans Team Set
If your dad is a card collector or just likes having the whole roster in one place, the factory sealed 2024-25 Hoops Pelicans team set is a clean pick. Every player from the current season, sealed straight from the factory. Zion is in there, Brandon Ingram era cards are a nice bonus if he held onto any from those years, and at $12 this is an easy add or a standalone gift that feels more substantial than it looks.

20-Card Multi-Year Pelicans Team Pack
This one is for the dad who just loves having Pelicans cards around. Twenty cards pulled from multiple years of Topps and Panini sets, so you get a nice spread across eras. It is a low-commitment, high-fun option, great for stocking stuffers or pairing with something else. If he ever talks about the Chris Paul trade or the early Zion hype, there is a good chance a card from that window ends up in the mix.
