What is THE lebron rc?

[ExAreSee]

I do not own 1 single lebron cars, time to change that. If I were to be spending in the 800-1100 range what is THE rc to have?

I want something simple and sexy. I don't want to re-enter into the "this is a hobby not an investment" convo that comes up once a month, that being said I'm looking for something for my pc, the same pc I will want to sell one day 10-30 years down the road and I want what I sell to gain value and at the very least get my money back for it. I'm born in 80s raised in 90s so I'd love a card the looks the most "90s-esque".

So taking all that into consideration, what lebron rookie card should I be chasing? What lebron rookie would you buy with 1000 bucks? Thanks in advance.:coffee:

Sp Authentic Auto /500

or

Topps Chrome Black Refractor /500

[Dwade Collector]

SP Authentic /500, preferably graded 8.5/10 or 9/10

-From a guy who ran threw tons of Lebron high end

If we don't answer you to satisfaction, are you going to throw more cards off the balcony / set cards on fire? :D

Ok. Need a callback in this.

What does the SP Authentic /500 look like?

[JMarchand1981]

Money will be worth less 10-30 years from now. Spend away and rely on inflation.

The one I sold you lol :)

If I ever refer to a card as 'sexy' I give you all permission to take me out behind the shed and shoot me...

Heres the SPA, I really like this one, hence why I own it. But also LOVE the Ultimate one, just such a clean simple look. Exquisite /99 might is the "high roller" ultimate one.

High roller for an exquisite is an understatement, you could literally buy 30x SP Authentics for the price of an Exquisite /99. Ridiculous for a sports card

Agreed, it makes it completely unattainable for 99% of collectors.

My vote is Ultimate or SPA, both awesome cards. Non-auto would be Chrome Ref

What's your opinion on a Topps chrome graded 10 bgs?

Meh, i'd rather spend the money on a SPA. BGS 10s are cool and all, but I would rather pay more a get a SPA.

Or even a Chrome Ref 9.5 for close to the same price, assuming your limit is around the price of a BGS 10 chrome.

Right on! I forgot I even have this card. ;)

[Dwade Collector]

I'd ALWAYS take the autographed rookie over the topps chrome rookie, that's just me

If not sure, get both!

The story of my life..... :o

What about the EX credentials? I like that one

What were raw SPAs going for at the beginning of the year? I have a chance at getting a raw one that looks pretty solid for $1100

also the fact only 99 are in existence and the majority of people who have it, do not want to sell it...

[CardsFan7]

I like the spa and spx the best.

[Whodey14]

I would think the most 90s feel would be a nice insert. I would get the chrome black refractor or one of the chrome refractors you prefer most in your budget.

Yea the EX has the 90s feel. I can't decide on the BGS 9.5 EX credentials /102, SPA raw (both around same price) or a BGS 9 SPA (would cost me more).

I already have a BGS 9 Topps Chrome Black Ref and BGS 9 regular refractor, but I want one more nice one.

[cp3fan]

Based on the budget, my vote would be for an SPA
