    JR, not sure what you mean by Best, as there are so many definitions( IE most expensive, lowest pop, etc) but his Topps Chrome is a good starting point.
  • I believe the Topps Chome for non-autos.

    +1, great card.

    The holy grail Lebron rookie, in my opinion, is the 03-04 Exquisite Jsy Auto /99.

    I like his plain old topps card, with him holdin up his jersey on draft day.

    Topps chrome is already selected for the BK future HOF RC set

    Most of the time they move that to the RC HOF set when elected.

    Most expensive is another matter..........

  • Chrome. I also love the 03-04 Topps Matrix Lebron/Wade/Bosh card. and if you wanted a Chrome refactor I'd rec. get a nice Lebron RC/Auto instead

    Probably not the best card, but I've always liked Sports Illustrated for kids card.

    As most of the votes show, for most modern basketball players, the Topps Chrome is considered the main/best base RC. Topps Chrome Refractor is probably the main parallel non-auto card. I don't know if now is the best time to buy, but it also way not be the worst. I'm sure the thought was after last season's championship that his cards were hitting highs (and thus not a good time to buy). Then again they have probably double/tripled since then. In Feb this year you could get a PSA 10 Topps Chrome for $200, by the time the playoffs hit the PSA 10 was selling for $350+. So who knows if this offseason is the lowest the card remains for a while.

  • Topps chrome is the way to go for modern basketball rookie cards. Lebron's really big RCs are the exquisite RPA as mentioned above and also his SPAuthentic RC.

    I would hold off until midsession though. The card is beyond available and youngsters are going insane over him now. Every year the hot card of the champ makes a run just befor and throughout the finals. Once September rolls around it cools a little a prices level off. Also, waiting until mid July when some of the really high end new product releases should take some eyes of LBJ rookies. Basketball collectors are notoriously fickle and will throw all their money at the newest thing.

    I like his 2002 Finest XRC.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    His "best" rookies are all very limited and cost thousands. Most Lebron collectors would rank them in roughly this order.

    2003 Exquisite RC
    2003 Ultimate Collection RC Auto
    2003 SP Authentic RC Auto
    2003 SPX RC Auto

    Most would say his best and most collected non-auto, non-limited RC is the Topps Chrome.
