Graded GEM MINT 9.5 by BGS. A "True Gem" Example! Hall of Famer, in a very desirable and scarce Rookie Card appearance. Among a total of 289 copies recorded in BGS's census reporting, only fifteen cards have been placed at a higher tier. 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, top-tier memorial to its subject's greatness and character. The card's BGS condition report: Centering: 9.5, Corners: 9.5, Edges: 9.5, Surface: 9.5. Dazzling Gem Mint condition.
