LeBRON JAMES | 2021 SKYBOX METAL UNIVERSE CHAMPIONS 1997-98 RETRO RB50 | '97-'98 RETRO-RED PMG | PSA NM 7

PSA Graded Card - Certification #117088565 - Grade: NM 7

This card is from the 2021 Metal Universe Champions set produced by Upper Deck, designed as a tribute to the iconic 1997-98 Precious Metal Gems basketball cards. The front of the card features LeBron James in workout attire dribbling a basketball against a vibrant solid red foil background, with the words 'Precious Metal Gems' in the upper left. At the bottom left, it has his name and the word 'BASKETBALL' underneath. The lower right carries the gold '2021 Metal Universe' logo. The card uses foil technology and has the visually distinctive, all-red design so closely associated with the PMG series. PSA has graded this particular example as a NM 7. Elements that distinguish it include the modern photo of LeBron contrasted with the throwback card styling, the lack of team branding (reflective of the Champions theme), and the nostalgic nod to one of the most celebrated 90s insert sets. The card exhibits clean edges and vibrant color but could show light edge or corner wear upon close inspection due to the foil surface.
