The card collector's view

1996-97 Topps Chrome #138 is Kobe’s flagship rookie — the Refractor in high grade is a top-tier modern hobby chase and the cornerstone of any Lakers collection. The 1996-97 Skybox E-X2000, 1996-97 SP Authentic, and 1996-97 Stadium Club rookies anchor the elite rookie-class pieces. For premium collectors, his Panini National Treasures patch-autographs and championship-era jersey relics are the high-end memorabilia, with Black Mamba tribute releases providing accessible signature options.

About Kobe Bryant at FreshDCards

Kobe Bryant played 20 NBA seasons — all with the Lakers — and retired in 2016 with five championships, an MVP, two Finals MVPs, and 33,643 career points. Drafted 13th in 1996 straight out of Lower Merion High School, he became the closest stylistic heir to Michael Jordan and the engine of two distinct Laker dynasties: the Shaq three-peat (2000–2002) and the back-to-back with Pau Gasol (2009, 2010). His 81-point game in 2006 is the second-highest in NBA history. Killed in a helicopter crash in January 2020 at age 41.
