LeBron James has won his 4th overall title with the Los Angeles Lakers after winning 2 with the Miami Heat and 1 with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He is a VERY expensive autograph right now. If looking to add him to your collection expect to spend some serious money.
Before buying your 1st LeBron James autograph we need to talk about authentication.
ALWAYS ALWAYS buy LeBron James Upper Deck Authenticated (UDA) autographs. They have been his long time exclusive memorabilia provider. Don’t waste your time with anything else. LeBron does not sign for free in person. If you are not getting your autograph from UDA you are probably not getting an authentic autograph.
With LeBron the key is finding limited edition items. Those tend to hold and increase their value the quickest. Any of these items below can be found in some limited edition capacity.
Where should you buy these items? Might be best to bite the bullet and buy from UDA. However, you can find better deals sometimes on auction houses or LeBron James collector Facebook groups. That’s probably where I would start. Cheapest option and you get to talk directly to the seller.
Now what to buy? My personal suggestions would be:
Signed jersey (Lakers, Heat or Cavaliers)
NBA signed basketball
NBA basketball dual signed by Dwyane Wade and LeBron James
Large 16×20 inch signed colour photograph
