Graded NM-MT+ 8.5 by BGS. Hall of Famer, depicted on an almost impossibly sublime, "Titanium Supernatural Fusion" collectible. Offered here is the almost never-seen type of collectible that's truly rare. Not in the sense of being severely limited in availability (although, it certainly is that), but because it holds such an infrequently encountered power. The card exhibits the power to lift the observer's spirits. It holds the power to engage a viewer's intrigue in the most concentrated degree. Much of this unique capacity is owed to the card's immediately apparent physical beauty, but closer scrutiny reveals the amazing arrangement of pinpoint-sized, precisely configured die-cuts that form the fascinating, shadow-portrait illustration of the superstar. Here is an exclusive – truly rare! – aesthetic masterpiece that honors "Mamba" in visual terms which are nothing less than incomparable.
The card's BGS condition report: Centering: 9.5, Corners: 8.5, Edges: 8, Surface: 9. The limited-edition item is serial-numbered "24/40." Significantly, this is a bona fide "1 of 1" remembrance, in the very real sense that it's the only example within its entire production run that memorializes Kobe's uniform number, "24." A suitably fulsome, outstanding tribute piece, in high-level Near Mint to Mint-plus condition.
