Recent Sales
Recent raw sales of Upper Deck #301 LeBron James rookie card range between $400 and $550 depending on exact centering and surface condition on eBay.
Condition Details
Card is in a protective top loader making direct surface evaluation challenging, but visible borders show generally good centering with minor typical corner softness expected from raw vintage modern cards.
Grading Recommendation
Recommended for professional grading if surface and corners pass close inspection outside of the holder, as a PSA 9 or higher commands a substantial premium.
Card Description

Notable Features
Iconic LeBron James Rookie Card from the flagship Upper Deck set, highly sought after by modern basketball card collectors.
