2003 LeBron James NBA Debut Full Ticket, PSA Mint 9 - Pop Four, None Superior! At forty years old, LeBron James has already been a household name for more than half his life, entering the public consciousness as the most heralded high school phenom in the history of the sport. But the first pick in the 2003 NBA draft exceeded even the rosiest of expectations, claiming four regular season and four Finals MVP Awards and a place in any honest debate regarding the greatest of all time.

Here's where the journey began, at least in the professional sense, in the state capital of California, where the eighteen-year old phenom racked up twenty-five points and nine assists on 12-20 shooting in a loss to the Sacramento Kings. But the owner of this high-grade ticket skipped that historic debut, leaving to the collecting community a rare relic worth dozens of times its $120 face value.

Only thirty-two full tickets from this historic contest have been slabbed by PSA, a skimpy population that speaks to how well-attended the game was. This is one of only four assessed at a Mint 9 level, with none superior. Encapsulated by PSA, Mint 9,


Guide Value or Estimate: $60,000 - up.

Auction Type
Signature Internet Extended Bid: These Auctions are presented via catalog and online. Bidding is taken through our website or via phone. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 10 PM CT the night the auction closes. 2) 30 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 10:00 PM CT, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 30 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 10:15, the new end time for that lot would become 10:45. If no other bids were placed before 10:45, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 10 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 10:30. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding and you must be on an individual lot page to reflect the accurate time remaining for that particular lot.
