I'd be happy to pay what the last Lebron went for to add it back to my collection.
It's not every day that I pull a card that sold for 100× what the box cost lol. Sometimes the "story" is just as cool as the card itself... and I always really liked the card.

I'm about half way through the set....

Not feeling too bad about prices since I got my LeBron for $100 a long time ago, and it graded out PSA 10.

LeBron, Curry, Durant, Brown, Ingram, Simmons... most of the big players, I have. It's the commons that almost never come up are and hard to find.

That's the issue and why I believe it's infinitely more difficult to complete this set than say, the PMG green set. Sure, they were chromium cards inserted into a paper stock set, but really, they are fairly plain-looking cards. Most of the commons are stuffed inside 5000ct boxes - guaranteed.

Let me know when you give up and sell the Bosh (w/ Giannis) though!

I picked up this Brandon Ingram a few years ago. It's a very nice set.

You make several great points.

It's easy to find a LeBron, Curry, Brown, etc. Just have to pay up for them

I for the life of me can't fine a Dragon Bender or Al Horford available. What's insane is that COMC has only ever had 39 of the 100 of these cards submitted to their site.

Again, I'm at about half of the cards owned, and my rate of new pickups has slowed to about 2-3 per year.

The only Harrison Barnes I've seen in the past 2-3 years was in a lot that sold almost immediately. Really would like to add one to the PC.
