Graded 8.5 (NM-MT+) by Beckett Grading Services, this 1996-97 Flair Showcase Row 0 Kobe Bryant #31 showcases strong subgrades of 9.5 Corners, 9 Edges, 8.5 Centering, and 8.5 Surface. The 1996-97 Flair Showcase release marked a landmark moment in the hobby, debuting a revolutionary three-tiered structure (Row 2, Row 1, and Row 0) that paired high-gloss technology with dual-portrait imagery. Row 0 serves as the most scarce and desired of the three standard tiers, making this card a premier rookie-year pursuit of the legendary Los Angeles Lakers guard.
With a BGS population of 171 in this grade, finding clean examples of this condition-sensitive issue is an ongoing challenge for collectors. The thick cardstock and delicate high-gloss surface of 1990s Flair products make them highly susceptible to edge chipping and surface scratches over time. Capturing the Basketball Hall of Famer (Class of 2020) and five-time NBA Champion at the dawn of his historic career, this card remains a hallmark of 1990s basketball card design.Show more
