1998 Upper Deck SP FX Kobe Bryant #21

Kobe Bryant is quickly earning respect around the league as a potential NBA All-Star. He scored a career-high 33 points versus the Bulls on 12/17/97. This card is from the Upper Deck SP set and features the distinctive die-cut FX design — a bold lenticular/holographic multi-panel card with Kobe's name spelled large across the front in embossed lettering. The back shows a casual full-length photo of Kobe in his Lakers practice gear, posing outdoors with the LA Lakers logo prominently displayed. The card carries card number 21 and is produced by Upper Deck with the SP hologram authentication stamp at the bottom.
