For the low, introductory price of $50,000, you can own what's alleged to be an authentic LeBron James St. Vincent-St. Mary High School jersey.
Freelance hoops writer Scott Rafferty stumbled on the jersey's eBay auction, which claims James wore the jersey during his senior year of high school.

The auctioneer provides a laundry list of certifications from Vintage Authentics and Upper Deck claiming an authenticated witness saw James sign the jersey.
The seller, City Liquidators Autograph Store, is based in Garden City, New York, and has positive feedback on thousands of sales, so the jersey might just be the genuine article.
