Ticket Stub from LeBron James Record-Breaking Game Could Fetch Several Thousand at Auction

Earlier this year, Los Angeles Lakers future Hall of Famer, LeBron James became the top-scoring player in NBA history when he surpassed former Lakers legend, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Now, a ticket from that game is expected to sell for over $5,000 at an auction.

According to TMZ Sports, a ticket stub from the game that happened at Crypto.com Arena back on Feb. 7 has been put up for auction. The stub has been obtained by Heritage Auctions and the auction house is already anticipating that the memorabilia can exceed $5,000 by the time the bidding is done. With a week to go for bidding, the price has already exceeded $2,000.

The ticket for the historic game was for a showcase between the Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder at the home stadium of the Los Angeles team. The stub shows the seat was located in the second row of section 209 as the ticket has been given a Mint 9 grade by PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator). The Mint 9 grade is only one level down from a perfect Mint grade of Gem Mint.Although this will be a great profit for a used ticket, it will pale in comparison when and if it is time for James’ game-worn jersey to be auctioned off. Chris Ivy, who is the director of sports auctions at Heritage Auctions, revealed to TMZ Sports in February that the jersey that James wore in that game could get the owner of it $3 million. It will also depend on when it would be up for auction if it does take place.

James became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer when he scored his 36th point of the game with 10.9 seconds left in the third quarter against the Oklahoma City Thunder. With the bucket scored, it was number 38,388 points over the career of the Lakers forward. Abdul-Jabbar held the record for 39 years.
