Up for sale is a 1996-97 Topps Finest #74 Kobe Bryant card professionally graded BGS 9 Mint and encapsulated in a Beckett-authenticated GGUM (Genuine Game Used Memorabilia) display holder featuring a genuine Los Angeles Lakers jersey patch.
Adding to its collector appeal, the card still retains the original Topps Finest protective coating, which remains encapsulated with the card. Many collectors specifically seek “coating on” examples since so many Finest cards from this era had the coating removed over the years.
This unique collectible combines an iconic early-career Kobe Bryant card, a BGS 9 Mint grade, an authentic Lakers jersey patch display, and the original Finest coating in one impressive presentation piece.
