The 1996 Topps Chrome Kobe Bryant #138 Refractor represents the flagship rookie card for the 18-time All-Star and Hall of Famer. Graded PSA 9 Mint, this example originates from the inaugural 1996-97 Topps Chrome Basketball release, a debut set that established the Refractor parallel as a foundational staple in modern basketball collecting. According to PSA population reports, 288 copies have achieved this grade. This is an investment-grade card.
Drafted 13th overall in 1996, Bryant went on to win five NBA championships, two Finals MVPs, and the 2008 NBA MVP award during his 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers. Inserted at an original rate of 1 in 12 packs, the 1996 Topps Chrome Refractor features metallic chromium card stock with its signature light-refracting rainbow border effect.Show more
