Graded PSA 7 Near Mint, the 1997 Metal Universe Platinum Portrait Kobe Bryant #3 features the distinctive die-cut micro-perforated grid design that defines this 15-card insert set. Seeded at an insertion rate of 1 in 288 packs, the card displays Bryant's portrait rendered through precision-punched matrix holes set against a metallic platinum foil surface. According to the PSA population report, 23 examples have received this grade.
Issued during Bryant's second NBA season, the Platinum Portrait insert stands as one of the signature insert concepts of the late-1990s hobby era. Bryant's career included five NBA championships, 18 All-Star selections, and the 2008 NBA MVP award, solidifying early-era chase cards from his career as foundational elements of modern basketball card history.Show more
