This 1996 Fleer Metal Kobe Bryant #181 represents one of the most visually distinct rookie cards of the Hall of Fame legend. Graded PSA Gem Mint 10, this card hails from a highly condition-sensitive set defined by its textured cyber-metal background, which is notoriously prone to edge wear and surface scratching. PSA has awarded its highest designation to 871 examples, making this a remarkably preserved specimen from a landmark mid-1990s release.
Released during Bryant's debut 1996-97 season with the Los Angeles Lakers, the Fleer Metal series stands as a hallmark of late-90s basketball card innovation. Featuring Bryant in his iconic gold and purple jersey set against a metallic mesh background, this rookie card commemorates the beginning of an illustrious career that would yield five NBA championships, two Finals MVPs, and a 2020 induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.Show more
