The (un)official PC Showdown Special Comments Guy
There isn't a whole heap of Kobe Bryant amongst my collection, but when the price is right and the opportunity exists I'll pick up the odd card here and there. Other cards might form part of a set chase, suffice it to say this is whatever Kobe I'vee picked up over several years (probably some pre-COVID cards in this little lot too).
2003-04 Upper Deck Victory - I really like the Victory designs, really nice for a rather lowish end product. The phrase "clutch shooters" just about sums things up!
1996 Score Board Basketball Rookies - I get that the unlicensed stuff isn't overly popular, but when some if it pre-dates the actual RC and has some good action shots I really feel some of those PRCs and the like are a bit under-valued and over-looked. DInged top right corner means I must have got this reaaaaaal cheap.
2000-01 Upper Deck MVP - MVPerformers - This forms part of a very, very slowly evolving set chase (I refuse to pay $12 for a Keith Van Horn!) Really nice looking cards in-hand.
2001-02 SPx - Sample - I don't know why, but I've always had a soft spot for sample, promo and preview cards. Captures the hype before the actual release, first cards offered, all that sort of good stuff.
2002-03 Upper Deck - Dunkvision - Another card for a set chase which is actually quite cloae to completion, I have the Jordan and and Bryant so not quite sure who or what is holding me back!
1996-97 Fleer Ultra Encore Rookies BGS 8.5 - Love him or hate him, graded RC of any superstar is a must have - this one had quite good eye appeal and the centerign grade seemed a bit harsh imho. Among the better designed and looking RCs too.
