Carmelo Anthony was selected third overall in the 2003 NBA Draft and immediately led the Denver Nuggets to the playoffs as a rookie, launching a career that would produce 10 All-Star selections, a scoring title, and 28,289 career points. His silky mid-range game and ability to score from anywhere on the floor made him one of the most gifted offensive players of his generation. This 2003-04 Topps Contemporary Collection card features a game-worn jersey relic from his rookie season in a #1/1 format. The one-of-one designation and rookie-year, game-used material create a singularly rare combination for a player of Anthony's stature.
