The Epic Sale of Kobe Bryant’s Trading Card…
There’s a new milestone in the sports memorabilia world, and it’s shinier than a disco ball at a 70s party. A Kobe Bryant card just sold privately for a jaw-dropping $2.3 million, leaving anyone else trying to buy it as shocked as someone finding out their grandma has a secret tattoo. It seems Kobe’s legacy is not just remembered but also cherished with the kind of determination usually reserved for finding socks that match after laundry day. Earlier this year, Kobe’s first game-worn jersey fetched $7 million at auction, highlighting how far some fans will go to grab a piece of basketball history.
The previous record for a Kobe card was a Precious Metal Gems Emerald copy that went for $2 million in 2022, meaning it took just a short timeout before the legendary Laker scored another record-breaking sale. With rumors of a Kobe and Michael Jordan card coming up for auction, fans are already preparing their wallets for a showdown bigger than the last episode of a reality TV show. Heritage Auction is gearing up for a summer auction extravaganza, which could see new records set faster than you can say, ‘Lakers legend!’ Look out, world, the basketball card market is hotter than a ghost pepper challenge!
