1996 Topps Finest #269 Kobe Bryant Refractor Rookie NBA Basketball Trading Card. The 1996-97 Topps Finest Refractors 291-card set parallels the basic set using the Finest Refractive technology. This set is also divided into a 3-tier model of collectibility using the same common, uncommon, and rare themes. Refractor cards were placed in packs at a rate of 1 in 288, there is then an additional 1 in 291 chance that you pull the Kobe Bryant rookie card (chase card). That makes the odds of pulling this exact card 1 in 83,808 packs (extremely scarce). Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in history and possibly the most gifted scorer the game has ever seen. An 18x All-Star, 5x NBA Champion, 2x Finals MVP, 2x Scoring Champion, and NBA MVP, Kobe's credentials are elite no matter how you look at them. He is the all-time leading scorer in Lakers history (think about who else played there) and his 5 NBA titles also have him tied for most in Lakers history. In 2020 Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna tragically passed away in a helicopter crash en route to her basketball game. Please see images for details regarding condition.
