Basketball Autographs, Basketball Cards, Basketball Patches, Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant 2013-14 National Treasures Sneaker Swatches Autograph #/39

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
Price Point: $500+ per box/pack

Stephen Curry 2014-15 Panini Spectra Millenial Memorabilia Jersey Cards

We have a pair of ultra rare, amazing JUMBO jersey cards from 2014-15 Panini Spectra. The two cards capture two huge jersey pieces, one blue and one yellow. The yellow is the only one we have ever seen (likely from the center of the jersey) as there is no perforation and all of the other jersey pieces have been blue.

Both cards look like gems as they shine in the refractor-like rainbow sheen brought to us by Panini Prizm technology.

Basketball Cards, Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant 1996 Topps Chrome RC BGS 8 (9 & 9.5 Subs)

One of Kobe’s most valuable and most sought after rookie cards. The 1996-97 Topps Chrome RC came in packs of the retail-only Topps Chrome in the mid 90’s. Cards wee on the rise and giants like Walmart wanted a piece of the action.

Topps Chrome Basketball 1996-97 At the same time hobby dealers were not interested in purchasing a parallel product that retails were also going to have, so it became exclusive to the big box stores, and as a result far fewer of the boxs/packs/cards were produced.

The set is very condition sensitive as the majority of them were horribly centered and others has surface issues.

Our BGS 8 Kobe Chrome RC is one the the best centered cards we’ve seen with beautiful corners and edges. The only factor bringing it down was the surface which has the slight green tint that many of the chrome cards have exhibited.

This is a key card for any Kobe or 1990’s basketball collector. The card is part of a 220 card set (which we also have available for sale).

The stated odds for 1996-97 Topps Chrome are: Refractor parallels (1:12) lead the chase element. Other inserts include ProFiles (20 cards, 1:8), Season’s Best (25 cards, 1:6) and YouthQuake (1:12, 15 cards).

Boxes carried 20 four-card packs. The base set features a chromium (finest or prizm-like) take on the base Topps design from the same year.
