The 2003 Topps 1st Edition LeBron James #221 represents a premiere rookie parallel from Topps' flagship 2003-04 basketball release. Depicting James on draft night displaying his Cleveland Cavaliers jersey, the 1st Edition issue is distinguished by the silver foil stamp on the upper left corner of the card face, distributed in far more limited quantities than the standard base release. Graded PSA 10 Gem Mint, this example represents the highest official grade awarded by PSA, with a population of 135 copies at this level. This is an investment-grade basketball card.
Selected first overall in the 2003 NBA Draft out of St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, James entered the league under unprecedented national expectations. Now in his 22nd NBA season, he continues to build on an unprecedented career as the NBA's all-time leading scorer, four-time NBA champion, and four-time Finals MVP. As James extends his active play and solidifies his place in basketball history, flagship debut-year parallels from his inaugural 2003 season serve as foundational pieces for modern sports card collections.Show more
