1996-97 Flair Showcase Kobe Bryant Legacy Collection Row 2 /150 – PSA 9 MINT – Rookie Year
Offered for sale is an exceptionally rare Kobe Bryant rookie-year parallel from one of the most important premium basketball sets of the 1990s.
This is the 1996-97 Flair Showcase Kobe Bryant Legacy Collection Row 2 #31, serial numbered 098/150 and professionally graded PSA 9 MINT.
The Legacy Collection parallels are among the defining high-end rookie-era Kobe cards and are significantly tougher to locate than the standard Flair Showcase versions. With only 150 copies produced, surviving examples in high grade are extremely difficult to come by.
• True Kobe Bryant rookie-year card • Extremely limited Legacy Collection parallel • Serial numbered to only 150 copies • Highly condition-sensitive 1990s premium card • PSA 9 MINT example • Iconic Lakers #8 imagery • One of the most desirable Flair Showcase parallels from Kobe’s rookie season
The combination of Kobe’s rookie year, the Legacy Collection pedigree, a tiny /150 print run and a PSA 9 grade makes this a serious card for advanced Kobe Bryant and 1990s basketball collectors.
These cards are notoriously difficult to find in strong condition due to the delicate premium surfaces, edges and overall construction of the Flair Showcase product. High-grade examples do not surface often, especially compared with mass-produced Kobe rookie cards from the same era.
