2025 Bowman Chrome LeBron James Young Kings Gold Refractor /50 #YK-5
LeBron James lands in one of the most significant basketball card releases in recent memory — and this is his premium parallel. The 2025-26 Bowman Chrome LeBron James Young Kings Gold Refractor #YK-5 is serial-numbered to just /50, making it one of the rarest parallels in the entire set for the most decorated player on the checklist.
Young Kings is a 25-card NBA-focused insert set built around established superstars and legends, with LeBron occupying the coveted #YK-5 slot — showcasing him among the elite tier of the checklist alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka Dončić, Stephen Curry, and Nikola Jokić. The Gold Refractor parallel, numbered /50, is one of the tightest print runs in the entire product's parallel ladder, pulling at just 1:1,048 hobby packs — a true case-level rarity.

For the first time ever, NBA veterans and NCAA prospects appear in the same licensed product, making this release a landmark moment collectors will reference for years.
