LeBron James Featured on More $1M+ Selling Cards Than Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant Combined

The debate is over. We can crown a champion. LeBron James is the unquestioned GOAT over Michael Jordan — in the world of card collecting, that is.

According to Cllct's Matt Liberman, a 2003 Topps Chrome Gold Refractor LeBron rookie sold for $1.11 million last week. It's the 25th card of James' to eclipse $1 million. That's not only more than Jordan but also eclipses MJ and Kobe Bryant combined.

The market for James' collectibles remains robust as he continues his 23rd season in the NBA. Companies are finding new ways to celebrate his career and create unique pieces as well.

Earlier this month, Topps unveiled a commemorative patch James will wear and that will be subsequently be placed into select trading cards:

While the price hit seven figures, the final number in last week's sale was still a long way off from the record for a James card. In 2021, one buyer shelled out $5.2 million for a 2003-04 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection rookie that included his autograph and jersey patch.
