This 2003 Upper Deck Phenomenal Beginnings Gold LeBron James #3 has earned a PSA 10 Gem Mint grade. Phenomenal Beginnings was a boxed set released to celebrate LeBron’s arrival in the NBA, and the Gold versions are the scarcer parallel, making a PSA 10 a strong pickup for LeBron rookie-era collectors.
LeBron James starred at St. Vincent–St. Mary High School in Akron before going 1st overall to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2003 NBA Draft. He went on to play for the Miami Heat, returned to Cleveland, and later joined the Los Angeles Lakers, winning four NBA championships, four MVP awards, and four Finals MVPs with more than 20 All-Star selections. He is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer with a clear Hall of Fame (HOF) trajectory. In 2025–26, he averaged 20.9 PPG, 6.1 RPG and 7.2 APG. His career honors include 21 All-NBA selections.
