LeBron James is certainly one of the most famous athletes who have ever lived, and he has the awards to underline his popularity. With this in mind, it should come as no surprise to know that memorabilia in which James is involved are sold for a fair amount of money. However, it’s hard to imagine that a device will sell for more than $ 1 million or even close to that amount.

This is exactly what will happen with this LeBron James Rookie card. According to sports reporter Darren Rovell, the card is currently sold at Goldin Auctions. The highest bid was set at $ 960,000 and there are still 23 days remaining in the auction. This means that bids are likely to exceed $ 1 million in just a few weeks.

This is a significant development as the article has now broken a record for modern trading cards. A Mike Trout card cost over $ 920,000 last month, though the LeBron card has already broken that record. Obviously there are some fairly wealthy people out there looking for brand new memorabilia to include in their collections.

Let us know in the comments below how much you would pay for such an article. Surely almost a million dollars is a bit steep.
