The 2003 Topps LeBron James 1st Edition #221 is a Basketball card (1st Edition parallel) released in 2003. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $21,000.00.
An ungraded copy is worth around $21,000.00, a PSA 9 around $14,375.00, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $115,000.00, a pristine BGS 10 around $11 and500.00. That's roughly a 5.5× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.
Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $21,000.00 and top grades reaching $115,000.00, grading a sharp copy of this card can clearly pay for itself — the spread comfortably covers a typical ~$25.00 grading fee. The catch: only submit copies with strong centering, clean corners, and unmarked surfaces, because anything below a 9 usually erases the math.
