Graded PRISTINE 10 by BGS. Hall of Famer, in a universally and fervently pursued Rookie Card appearance. This is one of just thirteen examples at its tier (with only two graded higher) among a total of nearly 290 copies recorded in BGS's census reporting.
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 18-time All-Star will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame in May 2021.
The offered card stands as a super-premium, top-tier memorial to its subject's greatness and character. The card's admirable BGS condition report: Centering: 9.5, Corners: 10, Edges: 10, Surface: 10. A bright and thoroughly lovely Kobe Bryant collectible – and a wondrous spectacle – in Pristine condition.
