The 1997 Metal Universe Charles Barkley #1 is presented here in a PSA 10 Gem Mint grade. Depicting Barkley during his tenure with the Houston Rockets, the issue is notoriously condition-sensitive due to its full-bleed foil surface and intricate background etching, which leave edges and corners prone to chipping. PSA reports a population of 19 copies in Gem Mint 10 condition.
Released by SkyBox, the 1997-98 Metal Universe set represents a defining era of late-1990s card design, recognized for its metallic textures and stylized art direction. Barkley anchors the set as card number one, serving as a key base issue for a career that included the 1993 NBA MVP award, 11 All-Star selections, and a 2006 induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.Show more
