Only four superior!

1996 Skybox E-X2000 Kobe Bryant (Credentials) Rookie #30 PSA Mint 9 - #'d 355/499. The 355 serial number of this most desirable "pull" from the Skybox E-X2000 product matches Kobe's career three-pointer percentage, but this was a player who could do it all, one of the most effective blends of raw talent and single-minded determination every to populate a professional sporting ground. Kobe's tragic passing in the early weeks of the year 2020 still feels like a bad dream over two years later, particularly because Bryant had so much more to give to the world, both inside and outside the sporting realm. He was, and remains, a study in human greatness.

So any trading card celebrating the short but glorious life of Kobe Bean Bryant is properly considered a precious treasure, and particularly those short-print rarities dating to his teenaged debut season. Only 499 examples of this card were produced to tempt buyers of the expensive product from which this beauty emerged, and only four have been graded higher by leading service PSA among the eighty-two (at the time of this writing) submitted for assessment.

It's the glossy, reflective surface of the card that has served as both its eye-catching elegance and its Achilles heel, as the delicate materials are unforgiving to even the slightest brush of an errant finger. This specimen remains as fresh and youthful as its subject, earning every point of its lofty PSA assessment.
