Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Mint (PSA 9 / BGS 9.5)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded PSA 10: $40 - $70
Recent Sales
Recent sales on eBay for raw copies typically range from $8 to $12. This is a newly released set under the Fanatics/Topps licensing return, making it a high-volume base card.
Condition Details
The card appears highly centered with sharp corners and clean edges visible through the protective top loader. No surface scratches or print lines are immediately apparent in the photo. The top border centering looks slightly heavier towards the top edge.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if looking for a PSA 10 for a personal collection. As a base card from a modern mass-produced set, the cost of grading may equal or exceed the market value of the card unless it achieves a perfect Gem Mint grade.
Card Description
LeBron James is shown in his Los Angeles Lakers white 'Association' jersey, number 23, dribbling a basketball. The design features a retro-inspired Topps border with 'LAKERS' vertically on the left side and the classic Topps logo in the top right. The bottom features the Lakers team logo and LeBron's name in stylized gold/grey text.
Notable Features
This card marks a significant return of Topps-branded NBA cards (licensed via Fanatics) featuring active players in their pro uniforms, despite Panini holding the exclusive NBA license (these often utilize specific licensing agreements).
Authentication Notes
The card exhibits standard Topps 2023-24 design hallmarks, including crisp typography and the holographic-style finish on the player name. No signs of counterfeit are present.
