1996 Fleer Metal Kobe Bryant #181

A rookie-year Kobe from the textured age of Metal

Kobe Bryant entered the NBA in 1996 straight out of high school, drafted 13th overall and traded to the Lakers, where he would build a Hall of Fame career across two decades. This 1996 Fleer Metal #181 belongs to that celebrated rookie class, issued in the brand's signature etched-foil style that defined the mid-1990s. The PSA 9 (cert 61521516) presents sharp and clean just shy of gem, a strong example of a Kobe rookie from one of the era's more striking sets.
