1996 Metal Kobe Bryant #181 (PSA 6 EX-MT)
Add an iconic piece of basketball history to your collection with this 1996 Metal Kobe Bryant (#181), professionally graded PSA 6 Excellent-Mint.
As one of the most recognizable and classic rookie cards from Kobe Bryant’s 1996-97 draft class, the Metal series features a distinct, futuristic metallic foil background that defined late-90s Fleer/SkyBox releases. Because these foil surfaces and full-bleed borders are notoriously prone to edge chipping and surface scratches, finding clean copies is getting harder every day. Encased in an official PSA slab, this card is a must-have piece for Lakers fans, Kobe Bryant collectors, and 90s basketball enthusiasts looking for an accessible high-profile rookie.
