A once-in-a-lifetime competitor. A phenomenal specimen of his Rookie Card, one blessed with radiant beauty. A condition assessment of unsurpassable magnitude. Finally, an emotional resonance that's undeniable, unquantifiable. The merging of these superlative attributes in a single entity – as presented here – yields a creation that's almost impossibly harmonious on a physical level. And nothing less than rapturous in its effect upon the spirit.
On January 26, 2020, a tragic accident claimed the life of Kobe Bryant. One of the sports world's most adored figures, the Lakers superstar seemed larger-than-life on the court, and his grand accomplishments as father, philanthropist, artist and businessman compounded the universality of the grief that was felt so strongly upon his passing. The offered card stands as a super-premium, highest-tier memorial to its subject's greatness and character.
Graded PRISTINE/Black Label 10 by BGS. Hall of Famer, in a universally and fervently pursued Rookie Card appearance. The card's BGS condition report: Centering 10, Corners 10, Edges 10, Surface 10; its run of perfect scores qualifies the item for prestigious "Black Label" recognition. A bright and thoroughly lovely Kobe Bryant collectible – and a wondrous spectacle – in Black Label Pristine condition.
