Interesting topic that more than anything will probably be driven by the overall state of the market. But IMO:
LeBron is at the point where his stuff is going to move wherever the market moves. When the market moves, so will key LeBron stuff. Same when the market moves down, LeBron is one of those guys who's moved will be amplified in either direction. What LeBron does have going for him in an established collectors base that'll eat up certain cards, and keep high end ones at a certain support (What that support is, I don't know, but I don't even see an LeBron Exquisite RPA as a 4 figure card... .someone will dip into their bank account to buy it just to own it).
While Mahomes is obviously influenced by the overall market as well, we still may be in the phase where collectors are trying to obtain certain rare cards as they are drying up. I'm not necessarily talking about the $100K+ cards... that's a whole different set of buyers, but the market is still sorting itself out on what other early is going to matter down the line (ie, Prizm Golds are very hard to find, and I get pinged quite frequently about my Prizm Black Finite 1/1).
Sorry it's not a straight answer... just that if you are buying LeBron, you are betting on the market being strong and appreciation for him growing over the years, if you are buying Mahomes you are better on the market to stay strong and him continuing to win, amazing, and be the center of the football world.
