Encapsulated by Beckett. Hall of Famer. This is the first "Logoman" NBA game-used patch card of Kobe Bryant that was ever produced. The importance of this point—to the collecting industry and to Kobe's legions of devoted enthusiasts—simply cannot be overstated. The exclusive issue saw only three players, including Bryant and Michael Jordan, receive "Logoman" cards, adding to the immense prestige carried by this seminal collectible.
"Mamba Mentality" is a worldwide phenomenon born out of the fierce competitive drive of Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant. "The Black Mamba" was among the very best players in the NBA for 20 seasons, with 18 All-Star selections proving Bryant's global popularity, and his 25 points per game scoring average affirming the former Lower Merion High School athlete's talent on the hardwood. A posthumous inductee to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the impact of Bryant's loss on the basketball world is incalculable.
The legend has penned a strong blue ink signature on the obverse of this fantastic collectible. A multicolored game-used NBA "Logoman" logo patch highlights the cardfront presentation. The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered by hand "1/1." A true Bryant "Holy Grail," the elite memento stands as a stunning tribute to its charismatic subject. The piece displays specks of surface wear but presents as an absolutely stellar Bryant commemorative.
