Kobe-LeBron 1-of-1 Logoman Card Surfaces, Already Past $2 Million
A dual-autograph card lost in a private collection for two decades could chase the $12.93M sports card record. Bidding runs through Sept. 24.
Still a top-25 fantasy asset even at 41; ride it out.
- Bidding opened Friday, already past $2M
- Auction closes Sept. 24
- PSA graded the card an 8 out of 10 last month
- Sat ungraded in a private collection ~20 years
- James: #23 overall, 41.4 FPTS/G in 2025-26
A card nobody knew existed just crashed the market. A 2007-08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logoman featuring Kobe Bryant and LeBron James opened for bidding Friday and has already blown past $2 million, with the auction set to close Sept. 24. It sat raw and ungraded in a private collection for nearly two decades before the current owner finally had it slabbed last month.
PSA graded it an 8 on the 1-10 scale and told reporters it's among the most valuable cards the service has handled all year. The auction house declined to slap a pre-sale estimate on it, which tells you plenty on its own. This is a genuine 1-of-1, the kind of thing that doesn't come around twice.
Why The Number Could Get Silly
The comp here is scary. A one-of-one Bryant-Jordan Dual Logoman from the exact same set sold for $12.93 million a year ago — the most expensive sports card ever, more than double what the house projected. Even a non-autographed Bryant-Jordan version pulled $3.12 million last December. So the ceiling on a signed Kobe-LeBron piece is anyone's guess.
Timing adds fuel. The 2007-08 season was Bryant's only MVP campaign, and it was the year James won the lone scoring title of his career at 30 points per game. Two all-time legends, both at a signature career peak, on a single card that only exists once. That's the story collectors will pay for.
The Fantasy Angle
Cards aside, James is still very much a fantasy factor at 41 years old. He sits #23 overall in our rankings (#9 at his position) after posting 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists across 60 games in 2025-26, good for 41.4 fantasy points per game — actual, not projection. His recent form actually trended up: over his last five games he averaged 7.9 fantasy points above his season line.
For managers, the read is simple: hold. A late-career LeBron in Philadelphia still returns top-25 value, and any dip in draft cost this year is a discount, not a red flag. Don't overthink it because he's getting old and expensive on the secondary card market — on your roster he's still a locked-in producer with league-winning nights left in the tank.
