Without a doubt, graded LeBron James and Tom Brady rookie cards will always draw interest from collectors all over the world. The sheer talent of these two, not to mention their long list of accomplishments, makes them the go-to players for anyone in the hobby. And with the recent auction of their slabbed rookie cards, things just went to another level real fast.

Earlier this month, the company known for holding auctions of sports cards and memorabilia let two monsters out to the public. The first was a BGS 8.5 2003 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection LeBron James rookie patch auto card, numbered 23 out of 99 copies. The second one is another BGS 8.5 slab with a 2000 Panini  Contenders Rookie Championship Ticket Tom Brady card encased inside it.

Within a few hours of the auction's start, these cards broke the $1 million dollar mark. This serves as a testament, not only of James and Brady's appeal to the market, but of the overall power of sports cards as a whole.

James' slabbed rookie patch auto, in particular, is a proven riser from the get-go. That's because its print copy matches the King's 23 jersey number. This helps boost the card's value as there is no one else like it in the market.

Apart from James and Brady's insane cards, the same auction also offered other impressive offerings as well. Some of these include a PSA 8 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, which is one of the 14 copies authenticated by the said grading company that has a grade higher than 8, a BGS 9 2006 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection Logoman LeBron James, and a PSA 10 Fleer Michael Jordan rookie card, among others.

Those who have deep pockets in the hobby and are interested in these wicked slabs still have time. The auction closes on October 23 and 24 for each of these cards. In any case, the auction of these jaw-dropping LeBron James and Tom Brady cards will be good for the hobby, whatever the final price may be.
