2003 ULTIMATE COLLECTION SIGNATURES GOLD LEBRON JAMES ROOKIE RC AUTO /23 BGS 9.5 Aug 24 Written By Crista Moreno When you think of top tier modern basketball cards, you instantly think of Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Each player respectively transcended the sport and will go down as the top two greatest players of all-time, and quite possibly the two most influential figures in sports. LeBron James however may be surpassing Jordan in not just achievements and legacy, but most notably his brand. With the vast international growth of basketball, paralleled the social media boom, LeBron’s brand is rapidly increasing; actively having over 91-million Instagram followers, ranking him the most followed basketball player in the world. Connected to his brand are these holy-grail trading cards, such as the offered ’03 Ultimate Collection Gold Autograph. This iconic card features a fresh out of high-school King James in his legendary #23 Cavaliers jersey. The card sports a beautiful horizontal design, paired with a bright gold inlay which really speaks to the overall aesthetics. The card remains brilliantly preserved with GEM MINT corners, crisp edges and near flawless centering. Both the 17/23 serial and the autograph are penned in blue-sharpie and struck directly on the card with the autograph receiving Beckett's pristine assessment. All told, few productions hold a flame to this critically important rookie card, and perhaps no better card connects investors to the brand of LeBron than this fine-art equivalent. In today's market, we feel this card will continue its financial rise and stands as one of the markets most important blue-chips. Please consult the video highlight for further details. Enjoy.
