MAMBA UP – Kobe Bryant Custom Art Card 1 of 1

I've created more than 50 pieces (about 30 of them made for sale) and somehow never created a Kobe card until now. As a lifelong Laker fan and one of the biggest collector's of Nick Van Exel in the world (@collectvanexel), I have followed Kobe from the first moment he set foot on an NBA court. In fact, I was lucky enough to watch him play in the NBA Summer League at the Long Beach Pyramid in 1996 before the season even began. I am excited to present this piece, which blends the iconic "Los Angeles" from 1971-72 Topps basketball with a shot of Kobe lifting off for an epic dunk, sparkled with some modern shine in the background. This hand-made, one-of-one, custom trading card is composed from: 1971-71 Topps #25 Happy Hairston (Los Angeles border) 2023 Prestige #63 Logan Wilson Xtra Points Diamond (shiny background, corner edge pieces) 2013 Panini Kobe Anthology #55 1991-92 Upper Deck #85 James Worthy Lakers Team Checklist This handmade, 1-of-1, custom art card ships in an Ultra PRO®
