Graded GEM MINT 9.5 by BGS. Hall of Famer. The 1997 Bowman’s Best card set was an early frontrunner in the field of chrome cards. These slick new cards had fans ripping pack after pack searching for their favorite players. While only 19 at the time, future legend Kobe Bryant was certainly at the top of many treasure seekers’ lists. Early chrome cards like this were highly susceptible to surface imperfections, making Gem Mint examples difficult to come by. The front of the card displays the Lakers legend Bryant in one of the great action photographs of the set. Bryant is mid-flight, controlled, confident, and on his way to postering some poor Jazz player. An amazing card, in incredible condition, featuring one of the game’s all-time best. The BGS condition report: Centering: 9.5, Corners: 9.5, Edges: 9.5, Surface: 9. Gem Mint condition.
