https://www.pwccmarketplace.com/items/2593955 Offered is a critically important Kobe Bryant production from the inaugural Exquisite Collection Basketball set. With a $500 initial price tag, this set is widely regarded as the first ultra high-end product and to this day commands incredible attention from seasoned hobbyists and high-end investors. The offered Patches Kobe is held within a strong BGS 9/9 holder and represents one of the finer copies in the entire market. Flat out never seen on the public market and when one does finally surface it's aggressively targeted by intelligent members of the hobby. Serial stamped 073/100 and possessing the following sub-grades: 9.5 centering, 9.0 corners, 8.5 edges and 9.0 surfaces. The game-used patch is a clean white example and the autograph is assessed as a mint '9' due to running just off the right edge. Kobe is arguably a top five talent of all-time and Michael Jordan's 'Air Apparent' as they say. His international following is the greatest of all NBA players and we suspect his premier commodities, like this one, will only continue to rise in value. Don't miss it!
