The 2003-04 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection LeBron James Rookie Patch Autograph #78 is serial-numbered 78/99, matching the card's issue number within the 99-copy print run. Graded BGS 9 Mint, the card carries subgrades of Centering 9.5, Edges 9.5, Corners 9, and Surface 8.5, paired with a BGS 10 Autograph grade. The card features a multi-color photo shoot-worn patch showcasing red mesh, white fabric, and gold border detailing, along with an authentic James signature. Debuting in 2003-04, Exquisite Collection served as Upper Deck's inaugural ultra-premium release and defined the format for modern ultra-high-end rookie cards. With 46 copies recorded at the BGS 9 tier, this is an investment-grade basketball card.
James continues to extend his legacy in his 21st NBA season, building on his standing as the league's all-time leading scorer while averaging over 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists per game for the Los Angeles Lakers. A four-time NBA champion, four-time Finals MVP, and 20-time All-Star, his rookie issues from the inaugural Exquisite set remain fundamental anchor pieces within modern collecting.Show more
