A tempting opportunity to score a high grade LeBron James rookie card here will garner merited lofty interest, with LeBron’s Topps Chrome RC from 2003-04 among the Top 10 of his more than five dozen! official rookie cards in terms of importance/value. The write-up on the back of card #111 includes, “No high school hoopster ever has had as many accolades as Lebron, whose quadruple double-type skills could make him a superstar.” The Ohio native made an immediate impression, averaging close to 21 points a game in his NBA Rookie-of-the-Year season with Cleveland and his superstar play continues close to two decades later – amazing. Among his long list of laurels and accomplishments, “King James” is the only player to have won NBA championships with three franchises as NBA Finals MVP. We could go on and on but will shift to the 9.5 GEM MINT mark that this inviting example scored at Beckett headquarters. The label also includes the card’s four sub grades; Centering 9, Corners 9.5, Edges 9.5 and Surface 9.5. The Beckett Pop Report, as of this writing, informs of the Beckett grading department’s assessment of more than 8200 similar cards over the years, with only a small percentage (170 examples) achieving “10” recognition. A wonderful addition to your James/RC collection and portfolio – LeBron is not done yet - this captivating card will be, with some light scratches to the Beckett holder to note.
