The website called the James card -- No. 14 in the set -- “the holy grail of modern trading cards” that is considered to be “gem mint.” It has a chance to break a record set by Goldin when it sold a rare Mike Trout card for nearly $1 million.
The card, which is signed by James in blue ink, contains a piece of his jersey from his rookie season with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The card was originally sold in a pack of four that went for $125.

“The basketball card market is on fire,” Goldin told TMZ Sports. “We expect this will surpass the record recently sent by the $922,500 Mike Trout card to become the most valuable basketball and most valuable modern card of all time.”
