Population five, none superior!

2003 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Kobe Bryant (Limited Logos) #KB BGS Gem Mint 9.5, Auto 10 - #'d 64/75 - Pop Five, None Higher! This was a consequential season in Los Angeles, the Lakers falling short of their goal to win four NBA Championships in five seasons with a Finals defeat at the hands of the Detroit Pistons, closing out the uneasy partnership between Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal in the process. Those painful losses would turn Kobe into the unchallenged face of the franchise, and he'd sign a seven-year, $136.4 million contract the day after Shaq's departure was announced.

While Kobe's star power is the obvious appeal of this special rarity, certainly his sudden and shocking passing in January 2020 likewise drives the market, as the supply of signed trading cards like this one came to a close. That blue sharpie autograph is properly assessed at PSA's highest available grade, and only minimal handling can be identified on the card itself, which presents a clipping from a game worn jersey that features all three colors of the Lakers scheme. The result is one of the most visually commanding Kobe cards in the hobby, and one that shares supremacy with just four other examples in the Beckett population. Graded BGS Gem Mint 9.5, Auto 10. Subgrades: Centering 9.5, Corners, 9, Edges 9.5., Surface 9.5. One of five graded Gem Mint with none higher.
