A sealed and unopened 20-Count 1996-97 Topps Chrome Basketball hobby box (4 cards per pack) filled with untouched packs is presented. In addition to an array of stars, this product features Refractors (parallels), Season's Best, ProFiles and YouthQuake inserts. The issue's "key" entry – potentially residing inside this scarce box – is Kobe Bryant's Rookie Card, card #138, presumably in untouched MINT condition or finer. “The Black Mamba” averaged 25.0 points per game during his decorated 20-season career with the Lakers, and won five NBA Finals championships in Los Angeles.
Other members of the historic 1996 NBA Draft class with cards potentially inside this box include Ray Allen, Allen Iverson, Derek Fisher, Jermaine O’Neal, Stephon Marbury, Antoine Walker, Shareef Abdur-Rahim Marcus Camby, and more! The box remains wrapped in its original, Topps cellophane, and bears the manufacturer's holographic seal. An elite box of Topps Chrome collectibles, with possible Kobe Bryant rookie cards inside!
