One of LeBron's biggest fans is willing to spend A LOT of dough on a signed rookie card of his.
According to TMZ, a card from LeBron's first season has become the first modern era card to crack $1 million in bids. The piece of memorobillia, which includes a piece of his game-worn jersey, is part of the 2003-2004 Upper Deck Exquisite collection and is one of only 23 ever made. TMZ reported that the card could eventually crack $2 million.
Think about that kind of cash. Who needs a house (and a nice one depending on where you live), cars, university tuition, or anything of that sort when you could just have a signed card from James' rookie year instead?!
Beckett gave the quality of the card a 9.5 grade and the autograph was given a perfect 10. This writer has absolutely no idea how these grades are formulated but wow, that sounds like a pretty darn good card. As of Friday, there were 22 bids placed for the card with the highest coming in at $1,020,000. Per TMZ, the $1 million price would make the Bron card the most expensive modern-era card of all-time (surpassing a Mike Trout card that sold for $900K). Bids started at $150,000.
Hey, if you have the money for these kinds of things, then go for it. The price should only go up after the purchase.
