Lebrons Cards' Value

[joe31]

When would be the time to sell Lebron? Now? After game 7 if they win? Or if he wins a couple more titles could they go up even higher than they are now? I guess what I really want to know is... Can his prices go even higher than they will be at if they win it all this year? I have tons of topps rookies, topps chrome rookies, finest xrc bgs 9, chrome refractor rcs, chrome xfractor rc, etc and don't know if I should sell or hold them .

[SportsItUpCards]

After game 7, my Lebron PMG and many other inserts, will probably be worth $15,000.00+++........... :D :flex:

[Nsingerma11]

Frankly....I don't think they will go higher...they are pretty high relatively to everyone else now. Probably will stay about the same except for the rare UD NBA stuff.

[joe31]

So you guys are thinking his prices will sort of peak out if they win the finals? You guys don't think they could go any higher a few years down the road with a couple more rings and MVPs? I mean, that is def possible that they don't get much higher I guess. They are extremely high right now.

[pingbling23]

lebron's card may rise a little if he wins another title, then settle back to where they are. if they lose, he is still the best player on the planet and his cards will stay the same as now until next season when he comes back even better. they will rise a little then setter to where they are now imo.

[crazymj]

There will be very short spike in his prices if they win and then settle back down. Its how is every year for champions.

[LeonfromNC]

The time to sell was right before the finals started... look at prices then vs now. Significant drop :(

[pingbling23]

thats tough speculation, if he continues on the same track he has been on in the past 5 years, his cards may be higher then jordans.

tis true.,..

[SportsItUpCards]

They will absolutely go up.... it's Lebron! I remember with Dirk after he won, nothing.... no increase. But this is not Dirk we're talking about. They will go up for sure! How high? We shall see shortly. In the future? For sure!

If the shillers get their hands on Lebron cards...... be prepared to see $300 cards selling for $15,000.00+

But shillers or not, they WILL go up. How much is to be seen.

Dirk went up significantly... before the Finals autos were going for $30-$50 but shot up to $100-$150 for most of the Panini sticker autos

I don't see Lebron increasing significantly since his cards are already at the top bar Jordan

[LAKERS2013]

Only if he wins game 7 with a buzzer beater boom

As far as Dirk.... not the cards I was looking at. I guess we really can't just say every single card. But we should see a nice increase in probably most Lebron cards once he wins his second ring. We shall see what cards do what. But I can tell you that when they win, they will go up for the most part. How much? We'll see...

His cards value will drop tremendously whether Miami wins or loses. Whether people want to admit it or not Personal collectors arent stupid... Lebrons Chink in the armor has been exposed for the whole world to see. He cant close games like Wade, Kobe, Bird,Miller, Iverson or Jordan can, when they were in their primes. He is a choke artist when it comes to finals.

Now I know people argue vehemently that he is clutch, because look at his stats.... Truth is when someone is about to drop 15k on a card, there has to be no doubt that hes one of the greatest players on the biggest stage. Its one thing for all the internet bloggers to defend lebron, its another to invest 10-15k on his memorabilia. He lost alot of fans this series, Fact.

[thor_rider08]

I hope his card prices drop. I have 4 sets that need to be finished. If I could buy the 274 cards I need for 1/2 -1/3 the price they are now I will be very happy! Chronology, Exquisite, UD black half price or less? SIGN ME UP!!!

Lebron was saved by Jesus. Twas a miracle win. If Miami lost, Lebrons cards would already drop 50% value.

[kenny3011]

Like they did the first time Miami lost in the Finals :rolleyes:

[Kingofkings1281]

That's just a stupid statement. I'll buy everyone's LeBron cards for half of what they're going for right now. So would every other sane person.

Fools say foolish things...

Let me guess...you are interested in buying Lebron:rolleyes:

[joe31]

I will too :) aha.

But lots of mixed opinions so far. Will be very interesting to see what they actually do.

[SportsItUpCards]

:eek: $$$$$$$$$$$ :eek:

[pingbling23]

i just paid 1k for a raw chrome rc, was it a steal?????

[justdagoodstuff]

:eek: $$$$$$$$$$$ :eek:

^^ there's your answer OP.

[SportsItUpCards]

i just paid 1k for a raw chrome rc, was it a steal?????

Is that a RECORD!!!!? :eek:

[joe31]

i just paid 1k for a raw chrome rc, was it a steal?????

ahaha, kind of close... Very debatable. I would say 900ish would've been a steal, but 1k is cutting it kind of close ;)

[hermanotarjeta]

Lebron's stuff is priced as if he has won multiple championships already. I don't see much of an uptick, except for maybe his super high end stuff if people start to actually collect lebron stuff rather than speculate in it.

Would you consider this card "super high end"?

This is just one example.... and I have a very big feeling that many cards, if not most, will follow! This is just an example because I missed out of the high sale because I was watching the game. Otherwise I would have bid also. Again, this is just one example... but be prepared to see this across the board, for the most part.

[tristan20]

Get ready for the explosion tomorrow.

[Fraser9698]

Im waiting for this explosion as i have a bunch of nice lebron rookie stuff up, all of my offers last night were pretty weak. Someone did hit my topps chrome bin though!

[tanana]

Great! Good luck to me getting the SPx rc card now :(

[Kingofkings1281]

My offer still stands. I'll pay half price all day long,

[Fraser9698]

I think you see a lot of the kobe/mj guys that were on the fence about lebron take a step into collecting him.

[joe31]

I think you see a lot of the kobe/mj guys that were on the fence about lebron take a step into collecting him.

Yeah, I was kind of figuring this as well. This may have been that last little push to get a few collectors over the edge on their decision.

That being said, it seems no one on here is buying him right now... I have a few Lebrons for sale and have a few more to list in a little bit and no one wants them :/

[hermanotarjeta]

I think you see a lot of the kobe/mj guys that were on the fence about lebron take a step into collecting him.

collecting jordan and kobe are expensive enough- obviously those collectors of jordan and kobe like jordan and kobe better than lebron, that's why they collect jordan and kobe - so the big question is-

why in the world would jordan and kobe collectors start colleting Lebron?

They wouldn't start "collecting" Lebron..... They would stock up on Lebron, and then shill his cards to death, and then hope to find a sucker to pay "record prices" smh

Same that happened with Jordan and Kobe cards. Especially Jordan. His cards could have never reached those fake highs if it wasn't for shilling, and shilling that continues today in full force. Want some links? If you do, let me know, there were a few I was watching with clear shilling. Now relisted....

good point - your chrome was $319 right (if you dont mind me asking)?

if so, i think that is the record sale htat i have seen for the BGS base chrome? could be wrong.

Even if suckers are paying those record prices, they are paying those prices, so how are legitimate transactions not legit?

Did someone force someone else to pay a high price on a kobe or jordan card?

I've never heard of that. All the people who have purchased jordan and kobe cards have purchased them on their own merit.

Same thing goes for any card that sells for above what YOU think they should sell for- only suckers and loonies pay too much for cards, not YOU.
