Jordan never played against golden state in the finals either.

Yeah these debates are silly. Itās usually turns into some fanboy war. There are people that even rate Kobe above of James. Lol
Iād rate them about equally. Thereās no way to properly compare players of any sport from different eras.
Iām more of a hockey guy and I know Gretzky wouldnāt have 200 points seasons in todayās NHL.
I also donāt know enough about Lebron rookie cards to comment about value but basketball cards arenāt the pinnacle for NBA collectors like Pokemon cards are the pinnacle for Pokemon fans.
Game-worn jerseys, shoes or game-used balls are on another level compared to Pokemon cards.
These days you have common Lebron cards in almost any product but in the same product you have signed cards with game-worn jerseys in the physical card and ānumberedā cards where only 199, 99, 10 or even 1 copy of a card exists in the world. For example, Sohei Ohtaniās autograph in Donruss Optic is numbered to 17, I know someone who owns 1 copy so thereās only another 16 copies floating around either in sealed product or peopleās collections.
Panini caters to a collectorās market these days and Iām not sure what cards were released in Lebronās rookie year.
The Jordan rookie isnāt a rare card, itās just sought after but it isnāt that expensive, relatively speaking. Weāre now seeing with numbered Ben Simmons, Kevin Durant, Lonzo Ball, etc. rookies that dwarf the Jordan rookieās price point and these cards sell raw. If the Jordan rookie had been produced how modern basketball cards are made it would be a 6-figure card for raw copies.

@budget My local dentist was a Huge Lebron fan while he was playing for Miami. His office was filled with signed jerseys and other memorbelia but no cards. That was his whole collectionā¦ so I gather you have a little of variance between collectors preference with the newer products.
Was he also a Miami fan?
Lakers are a more prolific franchise than Miami.
No, but he did beat the Lakers with Magic Johnson and James Worthy lol.
Oh, and just to correct myself, Jordan won SIX world championships;) 6 Wins 0 losses. But James has still LOST FOUR TIMES?

10 years from now Iāll trade you an ungraded L Ball numbered rookie for a PSA 10 Fleer Jordan rookie. Deal?
The 10 is in a different league obviously, Iām talking about the lower grades or even raw copies of the Jordan Rookies.
He is or was a Lebron & Wade fan and so by extension is a Heat fan. Itās interesting how the cross section of collectibles plays out with the newer stuff.
3 wins and 5 losses
But he has another 3 yearsā¦ so he could get 3 wins 
Being the GOAT isnāt just about stats, itās about winning the hearts and minds of the fans. Jordan hasnāt won the most titles of any NBA player ever after allā¦
