What is the Lebron James 2003 Ultimate Collection /250 BGS 9.5?
This is a limited run /250 autograph card from LeBron James’s rookie year. Graded BGS 9.5, it’s the most common grade.
There are three Black 10 cards, which is more than usual, and the 17 BGS 10s is a bit higher than you’d expect as well.
Its subgrades are 10,9.5, 9.5, and 9.0, so right in the middle of BGS 9.5.
The card IPOs with Collectable at 8pm EST 27th April 2021 for $181k with $82,500 retained equity (45.6%)
