Grading math for this card
Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.
Compare grading math across cards · Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.
About LeBron James Topps Chrome RC
The 2003-04 Topps Chrome LeBron James #111 is a major modern basketball rookie card with a deep parallel structure. Collectors search it because the base card is liquid while numbered Chrome parallels create separate, scarcer markets.
Why this card matters
Verified factPSA cert data identifies the base card as 2003 Topps Chrome #111 LeBron James, and the card sits in a release associated with the 2003 rookie class. The same card number appears across base and major Chrome parallels, which is useful for collecting but dangerous for pricing if the parallel is omitted. Recent base PSA 10 sales shown by PSA in August 2026 cluster around the mid-five-figure range, while Black Refractor PSA CardFacts records show a separate and much scarcer population. [1][2]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factFirst decide whether the card is base Chrome, Refractor, Black Refractor, Gold Refractor, or X-Fractor. The opened checklist source lists Refractors at 1:4 packs, Black Border Refractors serial numbered to 500, Gold Border Refractors serial numbered to 50, and Uncirculated X-Fractors serial numbered to 220. PSA separately catalogs the Black Refractor as its own card and reports different population and auction history. A listing that says only “Chrome rookie” is not specific enough for a high-value comp. [3][2]
What moves the price between versions and grades
Verified factThe main price drivers are parallel, serial numbering, grade, and venue. PSA’s base cert page shows PSA 10 base sales of $14,999.99 on August 20, 2026, $15,227 on August 18, 2026, and $16,800 on August 17, 2026. PSA CardFacts for the Black Refractor shows a PSA 10 sale of $461,250 on March 7, 2021 and later lower-grade or lower-date records. These are not interchangeable because Black Refractor population and serial-numbered supply differ from base Chrome. [1][2]
Authenticity checks
AnalysisCompare against exact Topps Chrome references and identify the parallel before evaluating condition. For numbered parallels, confirm the serial number, border color, Refractor or X-Fractor finish, and whether the card matches the stated PSA or BGS label. Use multiple checks: surface, coating, edges, corners, centering, back text, holder, and cert data. Do not use destructive tests. A valid cert number can be copied, so the cert lookup must be paired with photos of the actual slab and card. [1][2][3]
Telling the versions apart
| Version | How to identify it |
|---|---|
| Base | Standard Topps Chrome #111 without Refractor finish or serial numbering. |
| Refractor | Rainbow Refractor finish; not serial numbered in the opened checklist source. |
| Black Refractor | Black-border Refractor parallel, listed by PSA as Black Refractor and by checklist sources as serial numbered to 500. |
| Gold Refractor | Gold-border Refractor rookie parallel, checklist sources list rookie Gold Refractors as serial numbered to 50. |
| X-Fractor | Uncirculated X-Fractor parallel, checklist sources list it as serial numbered to 220. |
