Estimated Market Value
Raw: $300 - $500, Graded PSA 9: $800 - $1,200
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range between $350 and $450 depending on exact centering and surface condition.
Condition Details
Image is inside a top loader making precise corner and edge evaluation difficult, but overall centering appears relatively standard with good gloss and clear printing.
Grading Recommendation
Recommended for professional grading if surface, edges, and corners are pristine under magnification, as a PSA 9 or 10 commands a significant premium.
Card Description
Features LeBron James in his Cleveland Cavaliers red jersey dribbling a basketball on a dark gradient background with 'THE NEXT LEVEL' text above his name.
Notable Features
Rookie Card designation, iconic early LeBron James career card from the flagship Upper Deck set.
Authentication Notes
Standard Upper Deck foil hologram on the back and overall print clarity should be verified upon removal from the top loader to ensure it is not a counterfeit reprint.
