Lakers Legend’s Card Makes History…
The sports memorabilia world is swimming in cash like Scrooge McDuck diving into his money bin, especially when it features legends like Kobe Bryant. Kobe’s items constantly fetch sky-high prices, with his first game-worn jersey selling for $7 million this year. A remarkable $2.3 million was just spent on a Kobe card, making it so costly it could probably pay to replace every broken backboard from Shaq’s dunks. Fanatics Collect reveals that this private sale sets a new record for Kobe cards, leaving fans scratching their heads and wallets.
An anonymous spendthrift made history with this card purchase, overshooting the previous Kobe card record of $2 million for a Precious Metal Gems Emerald. It took only three years for this icon to break his own record again, but when it comes to Kobe memorabilia, we’re likely just seeing the tip of the iceberg—an iceberg made of gold! With a Heritage Auction coming soon featuring a 1-of-1 card signed by both Kobe and Michael Jordan, who knows what ludicrous amount might be splashed out next? Plus, they’re throwing in Lakers lockers from back when LeBron James was still shooting like a young giraffe learning ballet, offering fans a chance to hang their coats where legends once did.
