My Lebron Finest rookie...

[BiGGs1220]

Picked this card up years ago. Unfortunately, the genius I got it from sent it in a massive 1-inch thick plexi case. He must've tightened the bottom corner too much, cause that's where the card stuck.
I've gotten alot of interest from you guys, but like I've always said...it's damaged. I included the pics I've been promising (link below). As you'll see....edges are sharp, surface shines, card IS the refractor /250. Just has those dang spots.

Out of curiousity, do you guys think it's worth grading??? I know the damage is hard to get past, but atleast it's on the back...LOL. I'd just like to safeguard it the best way; do you think it's worth the cost though? Let me know guys.....thanks! ! !

if you already know there is a flaw to it, its not worth grading. just put is in a screwdown or magnetic holder.

It's not worth grading. I don't see it getting higher than a 7.

[BiGGs1220]

what about the "permanent" slab that beckett uses?? can those be purchased cheap? My LCS only sells packs/old boxes...no supplies. (very lame, I know)

not worth grading....surface grades will kill u on that one....nice card though

[BiGGs1220]

Thats what I meant...just didn't want to rant on forever at the beginning.

Velvet-do you mean a PSA 7, or a 7 on the surface grade???

Cardlover-how much do you think it lowers it's value?? (BV 400)


Thanks as always guys....that's why I love this site!!!

check ebay and see what they are going for.....obviously u r not going 2 get that but i would say roughly 25 or 30% of what they are going for on ebay....now if you find a lebron James collector might not be much difference...

ouch!!!! sweet card, but ouch

and nah, dont grade it.

[BiGGs1220]

I've been looking the last few months, but none are actively bid on. I've seen the same couple of cards with BIN's anywhere from 399 to 999...but atleast those are graded. I don't know how else to "gauge" the value, so I turned to the SCF nation.

[BradWells1977]

don't see u getting more than 200.00 or 300.00 out of it....
