A sure fire first ballot Hall of Famer, by the time LeBron James was thirty years old he had already been a household name for half of his life. Entering public consciousness as the most heralded high school phenom the game of basketball had ever seen, legendary former UCLA coach John Wooden said of LeBron that “He’s as dominant a player I’ve seen since Oscar Robertson”. Selected first overall by his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, in the 2003 NBA Draft, LeBron has gone on to a career spanning 20 seasons and counting and has won four championships along with countless awards including 4 NBA Finals MVP’s, 4 NBA MVP’s, 2 Olympic gold medals with Team USA, Rookie of the Year in 2004 and 18 straight NBA All-Star selections as of this writing. He’s that good. Offered here, we present this collection of Lebron offerings from his rookie season of 2003-04 in which he won the NBA's Rookie of the Year Award. Paced by a group of single cards that includes an example of James' 2003-04 Upper Deck MVP rookie card as well as five (5) cards from Upper Deck's 2003-04 Top Prospects release picturing the high school phenom over the fronts, other singles include a 2003-04 Upper Deck Victory "Rookie Orientation" rookie, a 2003-04 Upper Deck Victory "Highlight Reel Makers" rookie, a 2003-04 Upper Deck MVP "Basketball Diary" rookie and a pair of non-rookie cards from 2004-05 Fleer SkyBox Fresh Ink and 2004-05 National Basketball Card Day, all are seen as being in excellent condition overall and showing just light touches of wear to the edges and corners throughout that is worth mentioning for accuracy. For the rest of the lot, included is the 2003-04 Upper Deck Lebron James 32-card commemorative set, with all the cards placed in binder pages except for two (2) oversized cards which are housed in the original retail box that is also included. Also including a 2003-04 Upper Deck Phenomenal Beginnings 20-card set of James, a 2003-04 Upper Deck LeBron James Diary 15-card release and a 2003-04 Upper Deck Top Prospects 60-card set that features the players of the 2003 NBA Draft class and three (3) LeBron offerings, all the cards are housed in binder pages and remain in a condition that is similar to the singles listed above while also included are another six (6) of the 2003-04 Upper Deck LeBron James Diary releases and extras of two (2) out of the three (3) James cards from the 2003-04 Upper Deck Top Prospects set. Overall, an excellent grouping of early LeBron offerings to add to your all-important basketball portfolio!
