A tremendous offering, showcasing "The King!" The magnificent piece presented here is a signed game used patch collectible from Upper Deck’s 2004-05 "Exquisite Collection" brand.
Upper Deck's "Exquisite Collection" is widely viewed as the most elite, iconic brand in hobby history among top basketball collectors. This LeBron commemorative is from 2004-05, which was the second year of Exquisite.
Encapsulated and graded MINT 9 by BGS, with signature graded "10" by Beckett. Reigning superstar and future Hall of Famer LeBron James is featured on the obverse of this desirable second-year basketball trading card. LeBron has penned a bold, blue ink signature below an outstanding tri-color, game worn cloth relic.
The patch relic is one of the best imaginable on a LeBron "Limited Logos" card. ("Limited Logos" is the name of the subset – largely considered the most desired and popular subset – within Exquisite.) Many of the patches seen in this release are single-color or two-color patches, but this is a splendid three-color patch. It's an awesome, large relic: the Limited Logos cards were focused on the embedded game worn material, so the patches were particularly large in this subset. The patch is from a game worn jersey of LeBron's; that is, the patch revealed in the card was taken directly from a jersey LeBron wore during NBA regular season play for the Cavaliers.
The card's BGS condition report: Centering 9.5, Corners 8.5, Edges 9, Surface 9. A statement on the card's back highlights Upper Deck's warranty for the authenticity of the signature and the genuineness of the relic, and serves as the item's COA. The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered "43/50." This is a stunning and important LeBron James collectible, reflecting impeccable Mint condition.
