The 1996 Bowman's Best Atomic Refractor Kobe Bryant #R23 stands as a key rookie parallel from the inaugural year of the standalone Bowman's Best basketball product. Graded PSA 10 Gem Mint, this copy sits at the highest official grade tier, with a PSA population of 38 examples. Topps debuted the Atomic Refractor technology in basketball cards within this 1996 release, distinguished by its segmented geometric foil pattern. This is an investment-grade basketball asset. Card #R23 highlights Bryant in his Los Angeles Lakers home uniform set against a reflective patterned border design. The reverse side of the slab includes an eye-appeal sticker designating the card within the top 15% of graded examples for condition. Released during Bryant's debut 1996–97 NBA campaign, this unnumbered rookie parallel serves as a primary anchor piece for 1990s chromium basketball card sets.Show more
