Description
2019-20 Donruss LeBron James #149 featuring LeBron in his Los Angeles Lakers 'City Edition' black jersey. The card design features the classic Donruss 'Rated Rookie' style border aesthetic with purple and yellow accents to match the Lakers color scheme.

Key Features

Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. The print patterns, logo placement, and 'LAL' designation match standard production. This base card is rarely counterfeited as the cost to replicate exceeds the market value of a raw copy.
Flaws to Note
Obvious corner wear and 'whitening' on the top right and bottom right corners. The card is currently not in a protective sleeve or top-loader, increasing the risk of surface scratches. Top-to-bottom centering is slightly off.

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fee ($19+) exceeds the value of the card in this condition. Place the card in a penny sleeve and top-loader immediately to prevent further damage. Use '2019-20 Donruss LeBron James Lakers #149' in the title for SEO.
