No 8 Young Guns / Slam Dunk Champ - 90s parallels and inserts
1996/97 Topps Chrome Refractor RC
1st Year of Topps Chrome design did not disappoint and also helped by one of the best rookie classes in the history of the game. Kobe is the cream of the crop for the set and the 13th pick would become the face of the league for years to come. Only defect is some of these refractors are subject to "Greening" through the years. Mine has some but fortunately not too serious.
1997 - 99 Metal Universe/Metal Championship Precious Metal Gems Trios
These 3 represents one of the best numbered inserts from the 90s. My original goal is to acquire both the Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant set. However due to the timing and prices now, it will be very hard for me to complete my dream. However I am already very fortunate to have the Kobe Trios in my Collection.
1997 and 1998 Skybox Star Rubies /50
1998/99 Skybox Molten Metal Fusion Supernatural Titanium /40
One of the most rare 90s inserts which has an very unique design and way ahead of its time. No.33 is also Kobe Bryant's high school Jersey number which made this card even more special.
1997/98 Finest Embossed Die Cut Atomic Refractors /74 BGS 9.5
Only limited to 74 copies and the Atomic design made it one of the most sorted after cards in the 90s. The set actually started the whole 90s craziness as the Michael Jordan version is highly chased after. I wished I can have both MJ and Kobe but now the MJ is out of my price range. Glad to own the Kobe in my colection.
1996 Fleer Showcase Legacy Collection Row 2 /100 PSA 9
First year of Showcase Legacy Collection and I consider this the Kobe true RC. Showcase has 3 levels, Row 0 ,1 and 2. Row 2 is consider the Base RC and therefore extended to the Legacy Collection also.
