Why This Card Matters

PSA's rookies-and-parallels checklist gives the Refractor its own entry alongside base Chrome and other treatments. A collector can make the finish the theme while preserving #111 as the shared starting point.^{1, 2}

Why Collectors Care

Rookie-year parallels let a collection hold its early-career focus while the player's later story continues. Number 111 offers a defined Refractor slot; it need not compete with every subsequent LeBron issue for the same purpose.²

Card and Set Context

The checklist separates base Chrome, Refractor, Black Refractor, Gold Refractor and Xfractor entries. Its distinction is useful for organizing a player run, but the listing weights are not production quantities or prices.²

Grading and Condition

The retained certification verifies one Refractor specimen, not the condition of a different offer. Compare the label, back and surface; ask for lighting that makes the finish identifiable without hiding scratches or other marks.^{1, 2}

What Collectors Are Watching

Start with confirmed appearances, then distinguish the role shown in game records from the expectations attached to a team announcement. For a collection built around the rookie Refractor, the useful addition is a dated career chapter rather than an undated impression of current form.³
