1996 Fleer Flair Showcase Style Kobe Bryant Row 2 #31

The former USA Today and Parade Magazine National High School Player of the Year, Kobe Bryant broke Wilt Chamberlain's all-time Southeast Pennsylvania scoring mark by compiling 2,883 points for Lower Merion High. Acquired by the Lakers via trade in 1996, the Philadelphia-born guard stood 6'6" and weighed 200 lbs. In his rookie '96–97 season with the L.A. Lakers, Kobe appeared in 30 games, averaging 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game (as of the 1997 All-Star Break). This card is from the 1996–97 Fleer Flair Showcase set, numbered Row 2 / Seat 31, Section 1 — a classic early piece of the Kobe rookie-era cardboard canon.
