Lost topps pristine refractor lebron 9.5 @ national show 2018

NYFAN2014 · 08-06-2018, 11:16 PM

Hi Guys
I contacted a buddy of mine jjohnson814 whom I met at the Nationals to post a topic a few days ago. Now that I am home from the show I can try to put more effort in to finding the owner.
Long story short, at national I just carry around a backpack with my high end cards. I need to invest in getting one of the suitcase type card holders. Wednesday-Saturday I was at the show and constantly taking my cards in and out of my bag to show people and try to work deals. Friday night I noticed at the bottom of my bag this card and clearly knew something was wrong because I never owned this card before. I will not show the serial # of Beckett or card # on the back or anyone could try to claim it.

2003-04 Topps Pristine Refractor #101 Lebron James GEM MINT 9.5
QUAD 9.5's

Honestly there was one individual with his young son about 10 or 12 years old at the show that I recall having middle end or low end graded Lebron cards. He also took a look at my cards and we had nice conversation. I do not remember his name but I remember him saying he was from Chicago.

I really believe this was the guy that owns the card. Please if anyone hears anyone is missing a card, please PM me asap. I do not know the situation if the card belongs to his son or whatever. The card has some value @ ($400)? I only do high end low serial #'ed Jordan and Lebron $5k cards+. This card is out of /1999.

Good on you for doing the right thing

Did you make sure that no one swapped one of your cards for this one?

The only thing I'm worried about is someone maybe seeing this card before when the owner had it, and can go back and find a picture. They could find the serial number potentially.

I see what you mean but that be a long shot to have the exact serial #. But possible. Honestly I do not think the owner realizes his card is missing? or they would post or ask people everywhere....
