LeBRON JAMES 2003 Topps eTopps rookie PSA 9 chrome refractor finish low pop!

Description: Winning buyer will receive the rookie card described in the item title, a rookie card of Los Angeles Lakers superstar/future Hall of Famer, LEBRON JAMES. King James became the all time NBA career leading scorer on February 7, 2023, passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar! James then reached the milestone 40,000 pts plateau on March 2, 2024.This Lebron rookie is from the 2003 eTopps set produced by Topps. eTopps took the hobby by storm with it's innovative IPO method of issue. More importantly, the technology used creates a beautiful "chrome/refractor" finish that can only be rivaled by the Topps/Bowman Chrome refractor cards. This eTopps rookie is greatly undervalued in comparison to his Topps Chrome rookie. This eTopps rookie has a better refractor/chrome finish than the Chrome rookie. Not only that, there are a lot less of these eTopps chrome cards graded gem mint than the Topps Chrome. As of this writing (12/24/23), there are 3,990 PSA 9 2003 Topps Chrome LeBron James rookies (which sells for $1200 currently), compared to only 502 PSA 9 2003 eTopps LeBron rookies. The 502 PSA 9 eTopps LeBron might be better compared to the PSA 9 LeBron refractor rookies which has a pop report of 373 (most recent PSA 9 LeBron refractor rookie sold for $7,000+). For a fraction of a PSA 9 chrome LeBron, you can get this eTopps refractor rookie which has a print run of 502 PSA 9s, compared to 3,990 PSA 9 Topps Chrome, a 1 to 8 ratio (there are 8 PSA 9 Topps Chrome LeBrons for ONE eTopps PSA 9 LeBrons - a huge difference!) This card is freshly graded direct from PSA so case is scratch free and comes to you in a protective sleeve. James has also won three NBA championships (2012, 2013, 2016), four NBA Most Valuable Player Awards (2009, 2010, 2012, 2013), three NBA Finals MVP Awards (2012, 2013, 2016), two Olympic gold medals (2008, 2012), an NBA scoring title (2008), and the NBA Rookie of the Year Award (2004). He has also been selected to 12 NBA All-Star teams, 12 All-NBA teams, and six All-Defensive teams. Note that the picture is the EXACT scan of the card winning buyer will be receiving!! This card is graded a PSA 9 (which is MINT!), by Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), the top grading company in the sports cards industry. Why buy a graded card by either Beckett Grading Services (BGS/BCCG) or PSA? Because Beckett and PSA are the top two 3rd party grading companies in the collectibles industry. Why buy a graded card in the first place? Because if you want your card to appreciate in value, the condition of the card is very important. Having the card sealed in the case & it's condition graded allows you to easily sell/trade the card online. CLICK HERE to get a look at our EBAY store which contains many other awesome sports cards! Shipping is $5 for this listing only.A portion of the proceeds from this listing will be sent to the world relief organization World Help. I am partnering with them to build a deep bore water well in a 3rd world country. This water well will provide clean/usable water for a community of up to 1000 people! Thanks in advance for your contribution towards this cause.Update 8/16/20 - as eBay has required me to switch over to "managed payment", I will need to adjust each of my listings one at a time for the charitable contribution part. Though my listings now do not say so specifically about the charity contribution, I will continue to deduct 10% off every sale and send those proceeds to TWO different charities I am fundraising for. One charity, World Help, drills and installs water wells that provide clean/usable water for villages of up to 1,000 people per location in Africa. Fundraising recently completed funds needed for water well #3 so thank you to everyone that has purchased from this store over the last 4 years...you played a part in that! The other 5% will go to an orphanage call Nueva Esperanza Children's Home in Tijuana, Mexico. This orphanage cares for 30+ children and is run completely from donations from people. I have visited the orphanage 4 times over the past 10 years and it's a joy to see the children each time. So rest assure that 10% of your purchase is going to these causes.
