The 2003 Topps LeBron James #221 is the definitive flagship rookie card of the modern basketball era, capturing the historic moment James was selected first overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers on draft night. This card is graded Mint 9 by PSA, showcasing excellent centering, clean borders, and sharp corners on a notoriously condition-sensitive paper stock. As an unnumbered base rookie card from Topps' most celebrated modern release, this card has a PSA 9 population of 9,443, representing a highly pursued standard of preservation for one of the most significant rookie cards ever produced.
