Description

2002 LeBron James Signed First Sports Illustrated Magazine, CGC 7.5. Sports Illustrated introduced LeBron James to the sporting world by putting the high schooler on the cover of its February 18, 2002 issue. The bold move provided immediate dividends as James went from prep hoopster to national figure.

This offering features that famous magazine and was signed by the future king during his prep career. CGC graded this beauty 7.5 with "White Pages." James did not sign many of these publications and his high school autograph would morph into his NBA autograph. The signature is 9-10/10 and responsibly placed against the basketball. Previously, Heritage Auctions sold a 9.6 signed copy for $7,800 in May 2023. Encapsulated by CGC, 7.5. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
