Description
One of the Black Mamba's most glorious rookies!
1996 Bowman's Best Kobe Bryant (Atomic Refractor) Rookie #R23
PSA Gem Mint 10. No catalog or online photography could
possibly capture the effect of the trading card technology that
produces Bowman's "Atomic Refractor," so if you cannot afford this
one, we'd strongly recommend seeking out another to have a look.
Every slight tilt of the card invokes a dazzling rainbow effect,
even in places you wouldn't expect, like the "Lakers" logo on the
chest of this teenaged rookie on the precipice of NBA immortality.
There's no question that 1996 was a legendary draft class--Allen
Iverson, Ray Allen and Steve Nash, to name a few more--but this
card is unquestionably the pick of the litter. It's the rarest and
most gorgeous parallel of the issue's most important rookie. Once
you add the unimprovable condition of this particular specimen to
the calculations, this card enters the conversation regarding the
finest "modern" trading cards without an official "limited edition"
status. This parallel subset appeared once in every twenty-four
packs, so the odds of pulling a Kobe were positively tiny.We expect an international bidding war for this spectacular specimen, a glorious example of Kobe Bryant's best Bowman's Best, both by format and grade. Unquestionably one of the most important "modern" trading cards that Heritage has had the privilege to present to the collecting community.
