Lebron James trading card is set to beat auction records
A one-of-a-kind trading card is expected to sell for more than US $6 million dollars this weekend
It seems everything Lebron James touches turns to gold, or millions of dollars.
So it’s no surprise a one-of-a-kind trading card has people talking.
The auction for the ‘Triple Logoman’ card features patches from James’ career Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and LA Lakers jerseys.
Collectors were hunting for the card for a year before it was found.
Canadian rapper Drake was also involved, buying 10 cases of the basketball cards to try and track it down.
“The best comparison that I can use for the modern reader is imagine Willy Wonka [and] the Chocolate Factory, looking for that gold ticket.”

An ‘ultra-rare’ signed rookie card for the four-time NBA champion broke the record for most expensive basketball card sold last year, hitting US $5.2 million.
