LeBron 2024-25 Flawless Logoman 1/1 Sells for $68K

The ultra-premium LeBron market added another notable data point with the sale of a 2024-25 Panini Flawless Quad Patches Platinum #QP-LBJ LeBron James Logoman Patch Card (#1/1), Panini-encased, at Goldin on 01/04/26 for $68,320.

Card overview

Let’s break down what this card is and why it matters:

• Player: LeBron James
• Team: Los Angeles Lakers (Flawless typically pictures him with his current team for that season)
• Year: 2024-25
• Set: Panini Flawless Basketball
• Card: Quad Patches Platinum #QP-LBJ
• Serial numbering: 1/1 (one-of-one)
• Features: Logoman patch, quad patch design, Panini factory-encased
• Autograph: Not present (patch-only card, based on the provided title)
• Rookie or key issue? Not a rookie card; this is a modern ultra‑premium, low‑print‑run chase card rather than a flagship rookie.

Flawless is one of Panini’s highest-end NBA products, known for on-card autographs, game-used or player-worn patches, and very low serial numbering. Within that structure, Platinum parallels and Logoman patches usually sit at or near the very top of the hierarchy.

A Logoman is the NBA logo patch from a jersey. One-of-one Logoman cards of Hall of Fame–level players are often among the most chased cards in the modern hobby.

This particular copy is Panini-encased, meaning it was sealed in a tamper-evident case by Panini out of the box. That is different from third-party grading (e.g., PSA, BGS, SGC); it does not carry a numerical grade.

Where this sale fits in the market

This card sold for $68,320 at Goldin on 01/04/26.

Because it is a true 1/1, there are no identical copies to build a robust sales history. Instead, collectors look at “comps” (comparable recent sales for similar items) to frame the result:

• Other high-end LeBron Logoman cards from premium products (Flawless, National Treasures, Immaculate) have historically ranged from the mid-five figures into six and even seven figures, depending on whether they are rookie-year, game-used, dual/triple Logoman, or autographed.
• Non-rookie, non-auto Flawless Logoman 1/1 LeBron cards tend to sit below the monster rookie Logomans and dual/triple Logomans with other stars, but still command a strong premium as centerpiece cards for modern LeBron collectors.
• For recent ultra-modern years, prices are often lower than peak boom-era sales from 2020–2021, but still significantly above pre-2019 pricing, especially for iconic players like LeBron.

Against that backdrop, a $68k result for a 2024-25 Flawless LeBron Logoman 1/1 aligns with what you might expect for a high-end, non-rookie, patch-only Logoman of a top-tier all-time player in the current, more rationalized market. It is strong enough to signal healthy demand, but not at the speculative extremes seen in some past record runs.

Because Panini’s basketball license is nearing its end and Fanatics is expected to reshuffle the landscape, late-era Panini flagship products like Flawless have been watched closely. Key LeBron cards from these years may end up functioning as “closing chapters” in the Panini NBA story, which some collectors find appealing.

Why this card matters to collectors

Several factors give this card significance beyond the sale price:

1. LeBron’s long-term hobby profile

LeBron James is already treated in the hobby as an all-time great in the same tier of long-term collecting interest as Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. For players at this level, collectors build:

• Rookie card runs across key brands and parallels
• High-end patch and autograph collections from premium products
• Team- or era-focused PCs (personal collections), such as Cavs, Heat, or Lakers LeBron cards

Logoman cards sit near the top of these collections. Even for non-rookie years, a LeBron Logoman 1/1 from Flawless is the kind of piece that can anchor a PC or a high-end modern showcase.

2. Flawless as a product line

Panini Flawless is positioned as:

• Ultra low print run: Very limited boxes and cards per box
• Premium construction: Metal briefcases, thick card stock, gem cards, and on-card autos in many cases
• Chase cards: Logomans, premium patches, and on-card autos of stars and legends

Within that structure, a Quad Patches Platinum card that also carries the Logoman is essentially at the pinnacle of non-autographed content. Flawless Logomans are comparable in stature to National Treasures and Immaculate Logomans; collectors may prefer one brand over another, but all three sit on the same high-end shelf.

3. One-of-one scarcity

Serial numbering is the printed count of how many copies of a card exist in a specific parallel (for example, /99, /25, or 1/1). A 1/1 means there is exactly one copy with that specific design, patch configuration, and numbering.

For modern chase cards, 1/1 status does not automatically make it historically important, but when you pair it with:

• An all-time great player
• A premium brand (Flawless)
• A Logoman patch

…you arrive at the high end of modern scarcity and desirability. The buyer here isn’t just chasing low print run; they are locking in the only copy of this exact LeBron Flawless Logoman configuration that will ever exist.

4. Panini-encased vs graded

This card is Panini-encased, which has pros and cons:

• Pros:

  • Confirms it came straight from the product’s factory seal.
  • Protects the card and patch from handling.
  • Some collectors like keeping premium cards in the original manufacturer holder.

• Cons:

  • No numerical grade. High-end buyers often prefer PSA/BGS/SGC slabs with a graded assessment of surface, corners, and edges.
  • Future value conversations usually reference pop reports (population reports, which show how many copies of a card have been graded at each grade level). That only exists once a card is submitted to a grading company.

The $68k result suggests that, at least for this sale, the combination of the Flawless brand, the Logoman patch, and 1/1 scarcity was strong enough that a third‑party grade was not essential to clear a meaningful number.

Comparing to related cards

Because exact 1/1 re-sales are rare, collectors usually triangulate using nearby categories:

1. LeBron Flawless Logoman (other years)
   When they surface, LeBron Flawless Logoman 1/1s (with or without autos) frequently draw deep bidding. Autographed versions, rookie-era issues, and dual/triple Logomans can sell significantly higher than a non-auto, late-career single-player piece.

2. Other ultra-modern LeBron 1/1 patches
   Non-Logoman patch 1/1s from premium sets typically sell below this level. The NBA shield silhouette, brand recognition of Flawless, and clear Logoman presentation help justify a premium.

3. Non-LeBron star Logomans
   Logomans of rising stars or current MVP candidates can post strong short-term numbers, but long-term stability is less certain than with established legends. The LeBron name adds a layer of perceived security that many collectors weigh when bidding on high-end patches.

Within that structure, the $68,320 sale sits comfortably in the tier of serious, but not record-shattering ultra-modern LeBron high-end cards.

What this means for collectors and small sellers

If you are a new or returning collector:

• This sale is a useful reference point for how far the top of the LeBron market can go, even for non-rookie, non-auto cards, when they are ultra-rare and from a premium product.
• It also highlights how different the top of the market is from entry-level cards. Base and low-end inserts of the same player can be worth only a few dollars while a 1/1 Logoman pushes into five or six figures.

If you are an active hobbyist or small seller:

• Use this sale mainly as context, not a pricing template. A 1/1 Flawless LeBron Logoman is an outlier in terms of scarcity and buyer pool.
• However, it does reaffirm that:
  • Flawless Logoman patches of superstar players still attract strong, informed bidding.
  • Manufacturer-encased high-end cards can perform well without grading, especially when the card is fresh to market.

Finally, keep in mind that the market for ultra-modern high-end cards continues to evolve. Licensing changes, new products from Fanatics, and any major career milestones for LeBron (such as retirement, Hall of Fame induction, or significant records) may influence how collectors view late-career Panini issues like this 2024-25 Flawless Quad Patches Platinum Logoman.

For now, the $68,320 Goldin sale on 01/04/26 stands as a clear marker of what a one-of-one LeBron Flawless Logoman can command in today’s more measured, data-aware market.
