Just ask LeBron James. The NBA star's 2003-04 Upper Deck rookie card recently sold for $1.845 million at Goldin Auctions.
That makes it the most expensive modern basketball card ever purchased, according to the National Basketball Association. Only 23 versions of the card were made, according to the NBA.
The card's new owner is reportedly Leore Avidar, the CEO and co-founder of Lob.com.
