This 1996 Topps Chrome Kobe Bryant #138 stands as the premier rookie card for the Hall of Fame guard, originating from the debut basketball release of the Topps Chrome brand. Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA, this unnumbered base card exhibits clean structural qualities alongside the subtle surface greening inherent to the 1996-97 chromium print run. According to PSA population data, 1,420 copies have received this exact 8 rating. The 1996-97 Topps Chrome release marked the introduction of metallic card stock and premium refractors to basketball collecting, defining a key transitional era for the hobby. Bryant spent his entire 20-year NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers, earning five NBA championships, 18 All-Star selections, two Finals MVP awards, and the 2008 NBA MVP prior to his induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.Show more
