This is an incredible rare on-card autograph and game used shoe card of Kobe Bryant from the 2013-14 Panini National Treasures product. This was the second year of the National Treasures packs, and the cards remain ultra-high end.
New to the 2013-14 inserts in Panini National Treasures Basketball are Sneaker Swatches Autographs. This rare set of 25 come with pieces of game-used sneakers. While Jersey pieces have become a staple of many modern sets, game used shoe swatches are far more rare. Both current and retired players are included and the cards are each limited to 30-60 total made.
It is important to note that unlike other Panini products, there are no parallels in this set. The Kobe Bryant for instance has just 39 autographed cards produced. There are no “gold” or varying level of “prizm” cards in this set to further confuse limitations. Each shoe/autograph card is limited to exactly what you see stamped on the front.
NBA Trader is the only recorded source to have collected the entire 25-player set including Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Shaquille O’Neal, Grant Hill, David Robinson, Penny Hardaway, Kyrie Irving, John Stockton, Blake Griffin, Larry Johnson, Deron Williams and more.
Product Configuration: 1 pack per box, 10 cards per pack
