A rare LeBron James trading card sold for $576,000 at Sotheby's "Holy Grails" auction on Tuesday. 

The card, from the 2005-06 Upper Deck Exquisite collection, is a one-of-a-kind piece with LeBron's autograph and a patch from his Cleveland Cavaliers jersey.

Sotheby's called the card one of the most valuable in the trading card world, and one of the most important LeBron James cards ever made. Since Upper Deck stopped making NBA cards after 2010, LeBron's signed cards in his NBA uniforms are extremely rare, making this card even more special.

The card was rated in near-mint condition with a score of 8.5, and the autograph received a perfect 10.

Other items at the auction included signed rookie cards from baseball stars like Shohei Ohtani, Tom Brady, and classic cards featuring legends like Lou Gehrig, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, and Mickey Mantle.

Photo: Caitlin Clark (Instagram) The WNBA is facing criticism after making a surprising decision about Caitlin Clark ahead of the playoffs. The Indiana Fever, Clark's team, will play against the Connecticut Sun in the first round on Sunday.  Connecticut, ranked third, will host Indiana, who is ranked sixth, at Mohegan Sun Arena. Caitlin Clark has been a major reason for the WNBA's growth in viewership and attendance.  Many fans see her as the face of this surge in popularity. However, the WNBA's official account on X (formerly Twitter) surprised fans by not featuring Clark in its postseason graphic. Instead, they chose Kelsey Mitchell, another star player for the Fever, to represent the team.

I don’t wish that upon anybody.” He spoke tearfully about feeling lost and unsupported, saying, “It was hard for me... and everyone telling me they loved me, and turn their back on you in a second.” Bieber, who had gone through very public struggles, said the pressures were “dark”

Travis Kelce To Retire From Chiefs And Become Head Coach of Cincinnati Bearcats

Image
Photo: Travis Kelce (Instagram) As the college football season heats up, changes are on the horizon for the Cincinnati Bearcats. The team, currently 3-1, is considering a new direction, and Travis Kelce , tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is poised to take over as head coach. Kelce, 35, has had a successful career in the NFL, but his performance has dipped recently. Last season marked the first time since 2016 that he did not reach 1,000 receiving yards. This year, he has struggled to make an impact, catching only four passes for 39 yards so far. With younger players like Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy stepping up, the Chiefs seem to be preparing for a future without Kelce. As he approaches retirement, Kelce has shown interest in coaching, particularly at his alma mater, Cincinnati.
