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.

GRANT HILL CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:

Grant Hill was drafted by the Detroit Pistons with the third pick in the NBA draft after graduating from Duke in 1994. In his first season, he averaged 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.77 steals per game, and became the first Pistons rookie since Isiah Thomas in 1981–82 to score 1000 points.

He shared the NBA Rookie of the Year Award honors with Jason Kidd of the Dallas Mavericks, becoming the first Piston since Dave Bing in 1966–67 to win the award. In his second season (1995–96), he once again led the All-Star fan balloting, this time edging Michael Jordan (Jordan’s first All-Star game after returning since retiring in 1993).

During the 1995–96 season, Hill showcased his all-round abilities by leading the NBA in triple-doubles (10). He also won a gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta as a member of the U.S. men’s basketball team, where he had the team’s fifth highest scoring average (9.7) and led the team in steals (18). In 1996–97 season, Hill averaged 21.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game. He became the first player since Larry Bird in 1989–90 to average 20 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in a season, an accomplishment that has not been duplicated since.

On June 1, 2013, Hill announced his retirement from professional basketball after 19 seasons in the NBA. He later joined NBA TV as an analyst.
