Lebron James Gold

Anyone know the value of this card, Lebron James RC GOLD .

I never seen one up for auction to compare....

It's overpriced as it is. I never really understand why modern variant would go for so much, really there is no historical value in it, except that the card company telling you that it is rare.

Are you kidding me? This is a very collectable card. Bowman chrome is king when it comes to baseball, and while this is basketball, that is still a very rare
card, numbered to his jersey # and in very good condition (which is also rare for this issue). The card probably doesn't have a book value, but Lebron rookie
cards are very valuable.

Just because a card was produced after 1979 doesn't mean that it has no value. This is a very low produced version of a great player's rookie card. It would make a great investment.

I would say it's worth $1,725 give or take $2.95.

I actually have to agree with Austin. I do not understand how a card can be worth so much more than an identical card just because it has different colored border and a low serial # stamped on it.

How much value will similar cards have 20 years from now. Eventually the farce of producing identical parallel versions with low production numbers has to become common place and lose their value. Just can't see how a $15 card that is turned into a $1000 card because the company that made it says it is rare because it has a unique color will maintain any kind of sustained value or investment potential.

Topps...Topps Tiffany
Topps...Topps Milton Bradley
Etc....etc...

It's been going on in one form or another for a long many of years and the price difference has held up

Look at it this way.......1969 Mantle......

I do believe MANTLE in yellow goes for quite more than MANTLE in white.

Yes...another perfect example

The Mantle, or any other vintage variation, wasn't done intentionally just to artificially inflate the value of the card and the unopened pack it may be in.

Actually no the Yellow Mantle does not go for more than the White.

Also you are confusing an actual mistake or error in the printing process with a intentional color variation made for an insert. One is a scarcity due to an unplanned printing defect the other is a contrived scarcity to make collectors bust more packs. Also look at the prices for other yellow vs. white price differences in 69, the Mantle carries a huge difference because it's a Mantle.

Topps Tiffany was. And over the years they have always held a much higher value.

Same thing. People will always pay more for something like that.

just the way the world works.
