RIP Kobe Bryant, did some scans

[ronfir]

I am fighing a bad cold and my employer told me to stay home today so I thought I would scan some Kobe Bryant cards to honor his life:

Here are some of my favorites





This was pulled as a redemption back in 2012, can't believe it has been that long ago!




and then these two from Upper Deck

Pulled in 2000 when I moved to Dallas



I was a Diamond Club member for five years and in year three my end of the year gift from Upper Deck was this extra special autograph cards and it is truly one of my all time favorite cards



RIP Kobe, RIP

Definitely hold onto those autos. There will be no more.

I completed sets of 1996-97 series 2 Hoops, Topps, and I think Collector's Choice awhile back. I had one unused magnetic holder left, and I separated the Kobe Topps out from the set box and put it in a lockbox.

Those are sweet! I especially love the Diamond Club auto. I don't think I've ever seen that.

Nice idea. I think I will scan some of my Kobe cards too, when I get a chance.

This is probably the best card I've ever pulled. I stopped collecting in middle school, and got sucked back in for a few years after college (1999-2001). I then stopped again until my around 2012 when I decided to build the 2006 Topps baseball set for my son (born that year).

I pulled this when the product was released. It has been untouchable since, but just means more today.

Wow great stuff as always but that Diamond Club card is amazing! I've never seen one before so thanks for showing it and the others
