Default Best Lebron Card for $10k

Sorry if question has been asked in the past, while I’m going back and forth on buying a PSA 10 Topps chrome, I’m wondering what BO’s thoughts are on other Lebrons in the $10k price range? I’m starting to try and get my PC to more rarer items rather than something that has 5 sales a day on eBay.

I'm no expert, but sharing my tastes I'd shoot for a numbered rookie like EX credentials or 03, 04, 06 Jambalayas (those are the cards I'd personally like to acquire if I was able to). I'm not as into the Topps Chrome rookie at those price ranges (even though I'm lucky enough to own one), it's just not that rare. There are also auto rookies, but the only one I really like image-wise is the Ultimate Collection which is much more expensive.

I would find something you like that rarely shows up for sale and grab that. You can always grab a TC 10 they are always on eBay.

2003 TC PSA 10....although better get one soon b/c it appears they are starting to increase again. Sure, they are always a large supply of them, but there is also a large demand for them.

fork up an extra 3-4k and get a LeBron SPx Auto Jersey Rookie. There’s less than 2000 autograph’d TRUE rookie LeBrons. Get in on one.

2020 is wild

You aren’t wrong... but we’re now casually saying “fork over another $4,000”

I bought my first LeBron SPA RC auto in 2003 for $512

And I was pissed I spent over $500 for the first time ever

It’s burned in my brain

2003-04 Topps Finest /250 Refractor Rookie, BGS 8.5 should be about 10k or so. There aren't many high graded ones when you look at the population report.

A buddy of mine said that I have to "retrain my brain" because 2020 is so nutty......great if you own the cards and sucks if you want to buy cards......

How does this not end badly?

Don’t own it. Wanted to grab it, probably missed the boat (in regards to what I’d be comfortable paying). This card has long-term potential IMO. Needed to redeem it too, right?

I do own it (specifically a BGS 8.5). Think this is an excellent option too but I’m obviously biased. With that said, I bought it because I thought it has long-term potential.

Other cards (rookies) that come to mind (some aren’t even at $10k mark) are:

- 03-04 SkyBox LE /99
- 03-04 Finite /200
- 03-04 Glass /250
- 03-04 Bowman Chrome refractor /300 (unsure what these are valued these days)
- 03-04 Contemporary Red /225
- 03-04 UD (#301) /100
- Any on-card (and clean/bold) rookie auto if you’re willing to add more

If going for a Rookie card this is a good one.

Other than that I'd be going for Galactics or Exquisites.

I agree with the responses that said Jambalaya and E-x PSA 10. Jordans, of the cards mentioned, go for an insane amount!!!

The OP was being serious, don't taint the thread with overt sarcasm.
