LeBron James is continuing to make history. However, this time, the king has broken a record off the court. According to PWCC Marketplace, a signed 2003 James Exquisite Collection patch rookie card has sold for a record-breaking $5.2 million in a private sale.
The record for most expensive basketball card had been set in February when a 2018 autographed Luka Doncic Panini National Treasures card was sold for $4.6 million in a private sale, but that mark lasted just two months. This James card is the new record holder. The identity of the buyer of this iconic James card hasn't been released. The James rookie card is one of just 23 editions of the card that are in existence. Here's what the record-breaking one looks like:Two climbers were waiting to be rescued near the peak of Denali, a colossal mountain that towers over miles of vast tundra in southern Alaska, officials said Wednesday. Originally part of a three-person team that became stranded near the top of the mountain, the climbers put out a distress call more than 30 hours earlier suggesting they were hypothermic and unable to descend on their own, according to the National Park Service.
There's no making up for what Olympic hurdler Lashinda Demus lost on the day she finished .07 seconds behind a Russian opponent who, everyone later learned, was doping. What the American 400-meter hurdles champion will finally receive is a great day under the Eiffel Tower where she'll be presented with the gold medal she was denied 12 years ago at the London Olympics.
