The 1996 Topps Chrome Kobe Bryant #138 represents the primary rookie card for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame inductee and five-time NBA champion. Graded GEM MT 10 by PSA, this example is designated at the highest numeric grade available from the grading service. The PSA population report records 840 copies in this top grade. This is an investment-grade card.
The 1996–97 release marked the inaugural basketball product for the Topps Chrome brand, introducing metallic finish cardstock and premium print technology to NBA collectibles. Because early chromium stock was susceptible to centering variance and surface scratching during production, Gem Mint examples of key rookie cards from this release remain central anchor pieces for 1990s basketball card sets.Show more
