The unique card, which has a perfect 10 grade with a 10 autograph grade from grader Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) beat the previous record of $266,400 (AED 970,000) set by the sale of a 2023 NetPro Serena Williams RPA in May 2022.

The James card is numbered 1-to-99.

In early 2021, a numbered-to-23 parallel James RPA from sold for $5.2 million (AED 19 million) privately via PWCC Marketplace (now owned by Fanatics, rebranded as Fanatics Collect), which set the record for most expensive basketball card ever sold.
