Is a 1st edition lebron topps rookie #221 more rare that the regular? and also how much should I pay for that card grade 10 BCCG?

Beckett doesn't distinguish between the 1st edition and regular topps card so I am assuming they are the same value. Also, I am not 100% sure and I know someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I think the 1st edition came from a set of RC's for 2003-04 topps or maybe even the whole base set.

BCCG 10 can be a BGS 10 to a BGS 8.5 or maybe even lower. You just never know. You need to look closely at the card and decide if you think it is a flawless card. If you can see something so will the grader. No true collector is going to pay a premium for a BCCG card.

Thank you for that information.

I thought 1st edition was retail. Im prolly wrong about that.

!st edition boxes were sent out to select hobby stores. the cards fetch about 1- 1.5 x the regular.

Can anyone answer the 2nd part of my question?

BV or less

1st Edition packs were in hobby stores. The 1st Edition Lebron is significantly higher in BV than his standard Topps RC.

I'm not a big fan of graded cards, much less BCCG. If I were buying a graded card it would be BGS or PSA. That being said, if I saw one for not more than $20 I'd consider buying it
