The Evolution of Lebron James' New Signature

Over the years, Lebron James' signature has evolved. Along with the improvement of every facet of his game every year, his signature improved too.

I can say that his rookie-year autographs look like a kid's scribble.

After "The Decision" to play with the Miami Heat starting next season, Lebron decided to switch to a new number... and a new signature.

Check out the evolution of Lebron's autograph through the years after the jump.

Four Basketball Boxes From Dave and Adam's Card World

Last December 2009, I bought six unopened basketball boxes at Dave and Adam's Card World through their website.

It was my first time to buy from them and I was shocked when a UPS agent emailed me that I have to pay customs tax in the amount of around $110 before they will deliver the package to me.

After that incident, I vowed never to buy boxes from them anymore.

Old School Box Breaks 97-98 Ultra and 97-98 Skybox Premium

When I was younger and still a student, I just buy packs from the early to mid 90's products since I can't afford to buy boxes.

Now that I'm older and can afford to buy, I have bought boxes from current products but not from those old ones.

My Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Buyback Redemption Cards

The 2009-10 Exquisite Collection was Upper Deck's last Exquisite release (for now at least) after Panini was able to grab hold of the NBA sports cards licensing monopoly.

In the product, Upper Deck bought back old Exquisite cards from the previous releases and have them signed by various players.

Redemption cards were then issued for these buybacks.
