Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $15.00; Graded PSA 10: $150.00 - $200.00; Graded PSA 9: $40.00 - $60.00.
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies have fluctuated between $5 and $12 depending on condition. PSA 10 copies have seen historical spikes but typically settle near the $150 mark.
Condition Details
The card exhibits significant centering issues, being heavily shifted towards the left border. Corners show minor softening, particularly the bottom left. Edges appear reasonably clean, but the image focus is slightly blurry, making a precise surface assessment difficult.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. Due to the very poor left-to-right centering (estimated 70/30 or worse), it is unlikely to achieve a grade higher than an 8, which provides little value increase compared to the cost of grading.
Card Description
Kobe Bryant is depicted in his Los Angeles Lakers home yellow jersey #24, holding both the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy and the Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP Trophy. He is wearing a 2010 Champions hat, commemorating his 5th title. The card features a 'Career Tribute' sub-banner at the bottom.
Notable Features
Features the NBA Hoops brand logo, Lakers team logo, and the 'Career Tribute' designation commemorating Kobe's retirement following the 2015-16 season.
Authentication Notes
The card visually matches the stock and printing style of the 2016 NBA Hoops set. The gloss and font on the bottom nameplate appear consistent with authentic Panini production.
