Prior to 2025-26, the last NBA-licensed Lebron James autograph cards came out in 2009-10 during his first stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers. An exclusive with Upper Deck for much of his career, his signature didn't appear in any Panini products once they took over as the league exclusive. James' agreement with Upper Deck eventually lapsed and he signed an autograph deal with Fanatics, allowing collectors to finally get some new licensed cards once they started making NBA cards.
2025-26 Topps Basketball was the first release to do so. That makes this Flagship Real One Autographs Foilfractor an incredibly significant basketball card. Although James has a few different signatures in the product, this one boasts the marquee set's base set design. Featuring on-card ink, this 1/1 parallel features a patterned gold background that offers a stunning team color match aesthetic to James' Lakers colors.
This is also one of the first cards to include The King's ""Crown"" signature, a nod to his King James nickname, not to mention being the NBA's all-time leading scorer.
The card comes in a holder from Topps.
