Hope you are able to find one. It is a really nice card. I actually pulled the redemption out of a retail pack at Wal Mart back in the day. I remember being disappointed at the time because I wanted #1 which was Iverson and it was #13 and Kobe hadn't become a big star yet. Now I'm glad I got the #13 instead of #1. It was, and still is till this day, the best basketball card I've ever pulled in my life. If it wasn't for that fact I'd probably trade it to you but I can't bring myself to get rid of it. Even when it hit it's peak at around $300 during the early 00's and was even on Beckett's hot list I still refused to trade/sell it.

Here's a picture of it in case anyone want's to see what it looks like...

I don't blame you brother, that is one beautiful card. I think it's a bad time for me to even be asking for a Kobe Draft Pick Redemption Rookie since it's the playoffs and all lol...might have to pay a premium if I want it now, but would definitely love to add it to my collection. Cool story on how you picked up the Kobe too man, it's always sweeter knowing that you pulled it yourself so congrats on that

Thanks. Yeah I still can't believe I actually got it out of a Wal Mart retail pack. I remember at the time it was going for about $20. Sadly 96-97 was the year I stopped collecting for a while so that was the only Kobe I ever pulled. Boy I sure regret quitting that year. I was a big Lakers fan at the time and if I wouldn't have I probably would have picked up a bunch of Kobe. I didn't start collecting again until LeBron's rookie year. I do remember checking out a Beckett at one point during the period I wasn't collecting and it was near the top of the Hot List and had a BV of $350 I think. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that. It's gone way down since then and you can actually pick one up for a decent price on Ebay. I'm surprised they are going for such a low price now. I think eventually it will go back up though.
