This 1996-97 E-X2000 Credentials Kobe Bryant rookie-year parallel is an investment-grade, blue-chip basketball asset. Serial-numbered 046/499, this card is graded BGS 9 Mint by Beckett Grading Services, featuring subgrades of 9.5 Centering, 9 Corners, 9 Edges, and 8.5 Surface. With a total BGS population of only 40 examples at this grade level, this parallel represents one of the most condition-sensitive and important rookie-era items of the Hall of Fame icon.
The 1996-97 E-X2000 release marked the debut of SkyBox's premium E-X line, pioneering the use of layered acetate, die-cut photography, and foil borders that are notorious for showing minor wear. The Credentials parallel, restricted to a run of 499 copies, established the template for premium, serial-numbered inserts during the late 1990s. This card captures the five-time NBA Champion and 18-time All-Star during his landmark rookie season with the Los Angeles Lakers.Show more
