Encapsulated and graded MINT 9 by BGS, with signature graded "10" by Beckett. Hall of Famer. This outstanding, low-mintage piece emanates from an early wave of the innovative "Jersey Autograph" commemoratives that were quickly embraced by enthusiasts and which immediately revolutionized the hobby. Kobe Bryant has scripted a bold ink signature (adding his jersey number, "8") on the obverse of this premium collectible. In addition to the great athlete's penmanship and a riveting "action" scene that reveals a dramatic, in-game showdown, the cardfront presentation also incorporates an NBA game-worn jersey relic. The card's BGS condition report: Centering: 9.5, Corners: 8.5, Edges: 9, Surface: 9. A congratulatory statement on the card's back attests to the authenticity of the signature and the genuineness of the patch component, and serves as Upper Deck's COA. The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered "8/8." A fabulous and important remembrance of the deeply missed legend, in Mint condition.
