This 1998-99 Topps Chrome Refractor #68 features Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant entering his third NBA season. Graded BGS 9 Mint, the card received subgrades of 9.5 for Centering, 9.5 for Surface, 9 for Edges, and 9 for Corners. The unnumbered Refractor parallel presents the signature metallic sheen and rainbow finish characteristic of the set. According to the Beckett population report, 44 copies share this BGS 9 grade.
Topps Chrome Refractors from the late 1990s represent foundational parallels in modern basketball card collecting. Capturing the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer prior to the Lakers' championship three-peat, this early-career issue highlights Bryant as an ascending force who completed his career as a five-time NBA champion, 18-time All-Star, and 2007-08 NBA Most Valuable Player.Show more
