For the first time in Topps McDonald’s All-American history, collectors will have the chance to pull LeBron James autographs, making it one of the most anticipated basketball card releases of the year.

James, who played in the 2003 McDonald’s All-American Game, was already a generational talent heading into the NBA Draft, where he was selected No. 1 overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers. He dominated the showcase, recording 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists, leading the East team to a 122-107 victory. His MVP-winning performance solidified his status as the league’s next superstar, playing alongside future All-Stars Luol Deng and Chris Paul.

LeBron isn’t the first James to headline the McDonald’s All-American product. In 2023, Bronny James’ autographs were among the most valuable in the set, with prices skyrocketing before he even made his NBA debut. Now, with LeBron’s signature included, demand for this year’s release is expected to be at an all-time high.
