This 1997 Metal Universe Championship Kobe Bryant #86 is graded PSA 10 Gem Mint. Within the PSA population report, only 82 examples have achieved this Gem Mint 10 grade. The 1997-98 Metal Universe Championship set is notoriously condition-sensitive due to its full-bleed dark borders, which easily showcase edge chipping, corner wear, and surface scratches. Securing a base card from this premium release with flawless edge preservation and centered imagery is an exceptionally difficult task, placing this copy among the finest survivors of the print run.
Representing Kobe Bryant's second NBA season with the Los Angeles Lakers, this card captures the legendary Hall of Famer in his iconic number 8 jersey. The Championship series was SkyBox's upscale sister set to the standard Metal Universe product, showcasing the era's signature embossed, metallic-style backgrounds. Featuring the five-time NBA champion and 18-time All-Star at the start of his career, this card remains an essential piece of late-1990s basketball card history.Show more
