(CNN) -
LeBron James is expected to break another record. But this time it’s not on the court, it’s at auction.

Goldin is auctioning off a LeBron James Triple Logoman trading card this week – the only one ever made.

It’s expected to break a record for the most expensive sports card ever sold with an estimated sale price of $6.6 million.

The card features game-used patches from each of the NBA teams that James has played for: the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers.

The auction would not be the first time one of his cards sells for millions of dollars. A card from his rookie season with the Cavaliers fetched $1.8 million a couple years ago, and a similar card sold last year for $5.2 million.

2020-21 Panini Flawless Triple Logoman #3LG-LBJ LeBron James Patch Card (#1/1) – PSA Authentic

Current Bid:
$1,500,000

Description


Encapsulated and assessed "Authentic" by PSA. The LeBron James Triple Logoman is the undisputed Holy Grail of the 2020-21 Panini Flawless issue, and now, the entire hobby. This completely unique collectible showcases a trio of game-worn/used NBA Logoman logo patches, with each Logoman originating from a jersey worn by James with a different franchise, including one from his time with the Cleveland Cavaliers, one from his Miami Heat tenure, and one from his current team, the Los Angeles Lakers. James has won the NBA Finals championship and NBA Finals Most Valuable Player trophy with each of these three teams, including the Heat twice, and recently became the second-leading scorer in NBA history as of the end of the 2021-22 season. This is unquestionably the most important Panini LeBron James card ever produced, and, with three Logoman patches hailing from arguably the greatest player of all time, the most unique celebration of "King James" and most important card in the hobby.
In May, James was named to an All-NBA squad for the 18th consecutive season. Much like how James has dominated the NBA landscape for the better part of the 21st century, this card has been at the forefront of the 2020-21 Panini Flawless issue, and hobby as a whole, since its release. Recently, Drake purchased 10 cases in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to strike gold on this coveted Triple Logoman as anticipation around the card's discovery commanded the hobby. Numerous unofficial bounties drove hype behind this card to a fever pitch, including the promise of a Lamborghini to the lucky breaker who pulled the card. This card, easily the most fervently discussed card across social media, has driven hobby passions like no other, and with a high probability of only selling once, this could be a hobbyist's lone opportunity to acquire the card that defines our world.
Hobby-wide hype has coalesced around this magisterial Panini offering, with conservative estimates of its sale price comparing favorably to other record-setting basketball cards, including James' own Upper Deck Exquisite Collection RPA at $5.2m and Luka Doncic’s National Treasures Rookie Patch Autograph Logoman at $4.8m, with both sales occurring in 2021. This is the first Panini Flawless issue to feature the Triple Logoman set. As the only Triple Logoman in the release to feature a single player, this card stands head-and-shoulders above its contemporaries in terms of prestige and exclusivity as the hobby's "Golden Ticket." Flawless is the highest-end basketball product on the market, and this James card is the new benchmark by which all modern cards will be judged. A statement on the card affirms the manufacturer's guarantee of authenticity for the piece's content and serves as the item's COA. The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered "1/1."
