In honor of a legend, My son and I are sharing my Kobe Bryant rare card collections. My son and I been chasing his cards for the last 9 years. It was easier to collect back then, but now that his cards are on fire and off the charts prices, it’s more of a challenge. We are very fortunate to have his cards in our personal collections.
The sports card hobby has reached unprecented boom in popularity and in prices. If we were in it just for the money, I don’t think we would be making this video and wouldn’t have these cards in our collections.
Enjoy watching and hope the hobby lives on.
Please don’t forget to Like & Subscribe and leave a comment, we would love to hear what you think of our PC. Sorry the cards are NFS/NFT. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thanks for watching.
**Not associated with the company, but I highly recommend using “Superior Fit Sleeves” on all your graded slabs if you cherished your cards like we do.

That's an incredible collection. Not a day goes by without thinking of kobe and how he inspired me growing up.
MUCH RESPECT to your dedication to collect Kobe. You have a small fortune on your hands now. One of the best collections of anything I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing. 🐐💯
Most amazing Kobe collection all it needs is a cherry on top like a '98 skybox Jambalaya..
Thank you!! Absolutely!! I been after that and a ‘97 Metal Universe Platinum Potrait for a long time, but it’s just too crazy high now.
The auto box! 😮😮😮😮😮😮 unbelievable
R.I.P. Kobe & GiGi enjoyed looking at everyone of those Kobe cards!🔥
And thanks for showing
Bro.... My jaw was STILL on the floor from the MJ video .. this is beyond impressive.
The JEALOUSY is very REAL my Friend !!!
@Superman04p Thank you so much watching the video, glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you!!
Love Kobe ❤ beautiful Collection Thanks For Sharing RIP #8 #24
that bowmans best atomic refractor is DOPE!
Next level!! I thought I was on pace w your collection, then you took out the auto box 🤩 amazing stuff !!
Thank you Matthew!! Appreciate the nice comment sir!
Great Kobe collection
U r a true fan omg that whats up wonderful treasure
Thank you David, appreciate you brotha.
You best of Kobe so far that I watch congratulations. I got lot of Kobe but not as much rating Card’s like you have , Kobe in my opinion is best athletic of all Ethics
Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words and for watching. Yes I agree Kobe Bryant is by far was one of the best athlete in the world.
Great collection!
Thank you sir. Appreciate it.
Wow! Verry nice.
Amazing collection I collect Kobe more than I ever did since he died I wish I had some real rare cards to add to my collection
Nice collection! I wish I invested in his patch and auto cards. I wonder how much you spent for all those. It's so hard to get a 10 for BGS and PSA. If only I can post a picture of my personal Kobe collection on the comment section
That is an INSANE Kobe Bryant card collection...super jealous lol. Thanks for sharing, that was awesome!
Collection easily 500k n up
You can probably double that now
very nice!
I bet ive watched this video 10 times lol. Just love it. WIsh I got back into cards earlier. Not because of the value, but because there are so many that I would LOVE to own that will likely be out of reach for a long time now.. AMAZING collection!
I truly appreciate the kind words sir. 100% agree with you, Out of all my card collections, Kobe cards are my top favorite in my PC. Just honored to have a small piece of an NBA legend memorabilia’s❤️.
Great Video... Super Nice Collection of Kobe Bryant Cards. Thanks so Much for making mention of our Sleeves.... So happy You Like them.
@Superior Fit Innovations 🔥about to order more!! Thank you🙏🏼
🔥🔥🔥 🐍 collection
Nice collection ❤
Thank you 😊
You have the best Kobe collection 👍🏻
Appreciate you, Thank you.
You have a great kobe collection.keep up the good work.
Thank you sir!!
Can believed that I used to have his 97 ultra star gold PSA10. Sold it in 2017. Wish I still have that card=(
@henryho Wow!!! How much did you get for it in 2017? It’s at least $60-75k now.
@@Howie1383 I do invest alot 90's high end insert Jordan and Kobe. All I could said is hurt and hurt so much. I do have imtimadation nation Kobe BGS 9.5
I hear you brotha and feel your pain...Love the intimidation nation, wished I had a higher grade lol. I originally started only collecting Jordan and Kobe 90’s insert almost 8 years ago when sports card wasn’t popular and easier to get a hold of. Now it’s almost impossible unless you have deep pockets. Now it’s Luka, Trae, Zion, and Ja that we are chasing.
@@Howie1383 yeah I start my 90's insert collection 2011. I know you have 96 bowman best pick kobe atomic ref. I have his #23 rc atomic ref. Wish I have brought more if it😁
@@hhenry76 I know right?!! Only if I knew how big they would be today, would have bought tons!! Lol.
Gotta get those slabs in sleeves bro! Nice collection!
@Breaking Chris Appreciate you watching the video. Thank you for the great advice, 100% completely agree with you on the sleeves. I treat all my cards to the highest standards. For video purpose to showcase the collection I took the sleeve out. I didn’t want you to deal with glaring while watching the video.
@@Howie1383 great idea and I know what you mean with the glare! Great video and an awesome collection! Keep up the good work
sweet collection...that Kobe 2008 refractor is about a 30k card now...insane
@Graded Cards I appreciate the nice comment and thank you for watching. Wow really $30k?!!! I had to look it up lol, that’s crazy!! I hope the demand stays up.
Awesome collection…..Kobe would be proud. Your cards keep us card lovers wanting more. Thank you for sharing and allowing the world to see this truly great individual who has inspired many. You sir have inspired ME to keep collecting. Great to see that not only the richly rich can maitain and collect our idol. You sir are vested to keep and preserve his memory. Thanks a million. If ever you wish to part with any….please let me know 😅Cis15co
Kudo's to you for holding this. That case today is worth atleast 10+mil...
Bro what?! your collection is insane!!
Go check out my lil collection plz
Wow
Amazing collection!! Can tell you are a real collector and appreciate all cards instead of just going for high end stuff. Autos are always special, but the 90’s kobe cards are always the most fun. The Bowman Atomic refractor and Finest Heir gold refractor are absolutely beautiful (better Topps Chrome my personal opinion).
Keep up the nice collection!!
Holy crap your collection is insane man
Thank you sir!
Pretty amazing. Voice reminds me a bit of Tom Selleck.
Best Kobe collection I ever seen sir
Thank you…appreciate you.
Amazing collection! Also, I’m with you, the contenders ticket autos are awesome. Wish I bought them when they were cheaper.
@megr377 Thank you!! My son and I are happy that we started his pc when we did cause now they are going for ridiculous amount of money. Yes the contenders ticket I love. Hopefully we will be able to make other videos to showcase our pc of other players like Lebron, Luka, Ja, or Zion.
That Bowman best refractor...woof!!! That's a big one. Beautiful card.
With that awesome collection I would get one of those fireproof briefcases. Top notch collection from my fav player...thx for sharing🤙💯🔥
Damn!!!.......that second case was unreal. WOW😯😯😯
I’m a fan of collecting autos because of this video. Watched it a couple months ago
Wow!! Thank you sir!! Best of luck...I love autos!!
Awesome collection
you should get sleeves for your one touches so they dont get all scuffed
Thank you so much for the advice. Yes I keep my cards at the highest quality. If you don’t see it, it’s just for video purposes that appears it’s not protected.
Holy moly
Oh goodness, this is the type of video I’ve been searching for… you did exactly what I wanted to do but didn’t… bravo
Great cards man i wish i had that many kobe cards . Also R.I.P to the legend KOBE BRYANT 😢😢
Just, WOW!
Nice FLEX with the Kobe autos. I only have 1! I wish he was still here to sign more, gone wayyyyy too soon :(
amazing collection! thank you for sharing
incredible collection man!!, love watching videos of great collections so much appreciated. theirs a premiuim on that 15-16 tie die swatches you know...24/25 and all!!
When you see the next case! 😳
Nice collection! I have a few sweet rookie cards and some other cards.
No E-X 2000 Rcs? I would recommend that to add to ur collection especially the stardate 2000!!
Thank you for the recommendation. I actually got them after making the video.
Enjoyed vid.
Impressive collection.
WOW THAT IS SOME COLLECTION.
I WOULD HAVE NOT GRADED ANY SINSE THEY MOSTLY ARE UNDER 10 you have got to be rich to buy this collection in the first place not too many collectors are in your card collections caliber,
what’s the rite word crazy nice
I can just imagine how your going too feel when they all become worthless That’s what happens to cards not graded 10 gm worthless
basic knowledge all the numbered cards are something else and the printing plate 1/1 you need the other 3 1/1 plates then get all twelve or however many 2012
Cards are in the set
I have the baseball set of 32 cards of Matt Hague
I have 23 three cards + 3x 1/1 plates and am looking for the last one I just think I should have gone with mike trout instead value wise Funny thing about grading. They get them wrong all the time you should send them all not tens to becket see what they grade all your 7/8 /9 and 9.5 cards I would say they all come back 10. Becket is ok graders psa is bull so many times I see I that a card graded by psa is out of centering and still get a gm10 same with greening chrome. Any greening should take away a grade
So thanks for showing the best collection of Kobe I have seen I have around 59 cards of Kobe but none graded hahaha not planning ether i just don’t to trust psa. I did not see any black Diamond how come
It’s such a short product put out you should have the emerald minimal Look into it I have the Kobe set
I can’t even find a value because no one sells them
@Tom Menczel appreciate you watching the video and the comment. Lol just to make it clear I am not rich! This collection was originally started for my son who was less than 1 y/o at the time (about 10 years ago). 10 years ago card collecting wasn’t as popular as it is today, just imagine how easy and cheap the cards were back then. Definitely a lot easier to acquire. Even getting cards graded by PSA or Beckett was super easy and cheap back then, it was about $6-7 per card and they even gave out discounts just to use them unlike today where it’s about $200 per card for express lol…I am just grateful and glad I got them all graded at the time lol.
And for our cards being worthless someday, believe me I wouldn’t be sad lol, my whole intention of card collecting wasn’t for the money, it is for the love of basketball and a huge fan of Kobe Bryant. And as far as value spent on our collection…lol I can probably sell one card today and get all our money that was invested on our entire collection. So just because we have all of these cards in our collection don’t assume that we spent an arm and leg on them, it was just great opportunity that we got them when we did. As for the UD Black Diamond I wasn’t a fan of the set at the time, but we do have them. What presented on the video is about 75% of our Kobe collection.
@@Howie1383 hi I would like to reply to your comment
I understand no everyone is rich collecting cards
You can get rich but the players cards depend
It’s just the thought of so many incredible cards
That look like better than the grade given to them
You are also very correct on collecting for fun, and your kids well being ,good choice of all things going to be worth collecting I guess I was just not thinking
My thought was looking at players like lindros he was so hyped everyone got his cards and now 20 years later they are at 10% of what they could have been if his dad had not been his manager and got ko’ed by stevens ,and got up and fought for his spot in the game
I personally collected for fun but also with hope my cards become worth having money collectablity
Some day I don’t have any kids so I really have a
Personal feeling my 200000 cards will be worthless
In ten more years I look all day every day
Just to see how many people are selling Kobe and Jordan Shaq Dunkan Gretzky Lemieux. Yagr
Obviously you collection is very valuable
Get it insured for 2m Coverage fire and water damage
That is the most important thing I was actually thinking
What do you add your collection value at I was thinking at least 3 mill as is with no price tag some cards I had no idea existed. I personally think the best card you have is your 1/1 plate. That’s got to be worth half a mil
By it’s self
That card had 4 more 1/1 out there
A Topps chrome Kobe 2012 superfactor 1/1. That’s got to be worth 5 or 6 mil
I have at least 150000-200000 cards not one graded
At 200 a card the only one who’s going to get rich off my cards is PSA
@@happymantom I completely understand what you are saying, didn’t mean to come off the wrong way. I personally believe the value on the Kobe’s are it’s lowest now which Is the best time to buy. Surprisingly the 1/1 printing plates is not the most valuable in the Kobe collection. If you have Instagram, you can see some our other collection showcased.

I have a few number cards. But that one I really like a lot.
Mate you have some really nice patches. Awesome collection
WOW! As a die Kobe fan to this day this is impressive! People have probably offered you a lot for that!
I’d be insulted if someone offered me money. I just like seeing the history
@arjun Singh Thank you sir I appreciate you watching and for the kind words. My son are also diehard Lakers, Kobe, and MJ fan. We never sold a single card in our collections. We are in it for the hobby and not for the money.🙏🏼🙏🏼
96 bowman best atomic refractor is uncut is that supposed to be the die cut one right? The back u can tell the white part is supposed to be cut out. Sick
Hi Sir..Erwin Paulino from Philippines.. pls.give me one only🙏..i know you have a good heart..thank you and God Bless..
WOW! Bro, just curious on how much your Kobe collection is worth. It has to be close to a million dollars. I love Kobe but I collect just Jordan’s. Anyways great collection!
@David Spahr Thank you sir appreciate the comment. I am also a MJ collector. I have a mj video, but not showing the whole collection. I hope that will be my next video.
Looking at your collection makes me sad. His cards will never decrease and only increase in value. People buy his cards even not in mint condition because what he did for basketball.
Add sport card investments in the end of ur title and your gonna get soooo much views believe me. Nice collection hold for another 10 years
Thank you sir. And thank you for the tip. Not really sure on the value of my Kobe pc, just fortunate to start the collection when I did.
The BBP Atomic Refractor may have either been an uncut mistake or was hand cut from a sheet. I’ve seen the regular Refractor version uncut but it was cut crooked. Much rarer that way too. Could be a 1/1 or similar.
I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE GAME FOR A WHILE NOW AND STARTED TO GAIN INTEREST BACK INTO THE HOBBY AGAIN. YOU SEEM LIKE YOU KNOW YOUR KOBE STUFF. I HAVE A 2003-04 FLEER FLAIR FINAL EDITION KOBE BRYANT HOT NUMBERS NUMBERED TO 500. I CAN'T FIND ANY COMPS ANYWHERE ON THAT CARD. I DO SEE THE GRADED VERSION OF LEBRON IS SELLING FOR UPWARDS OF $800 (BGS9). DO YOU THINK I SHOULD GET THE CARD GRADED?
Got one you don’t have, ‘96 fleer row zero, got it in a pack back then, put it in a case right away.
How much do you value your 2 cases at?
Very nice card to have. Fortunately I do have that one graded at bgs 9. Actually I have tons more card that not shown in video. The auto box have definitely gone down since Covid days. Appreciate you my friend.
I started collecting Kobe in the 90's. Then came 👧 and that stopped 😢. Now wish i had continued. You sell or post elsewhere online?
Rip to everyone in that helicopter crash❤️🥺👑🙏✝️😇😭
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man this was fun watch. I just got back into the hobby 3 weeks ago after clicking on one YT video then I went down the rabbit hole lol. Currently only a Kobe base RC purchasing binge right now. When you were purchasing most of your singles did you buy raw then grade or did you buy graded? What were biggest factors you looked at when got for PSA 8-10 or BGS 8.5-10. I need to do more homework but I’ve been mostly purchasing PSA 8-9 bc I want to keep these for my own PC without intent to sell. Just want to hand them down to my son when he’s 5 or 7
@Erein Regidor thank you sir for watching. That’s awesome you got back into it and doing it for your son as I originally got this collection fmastarted for my son too. We kinda go on and off collecting, but as far as Kobe cards, prices now are crazy high so we kinda stop as I think we have enough in our collection lol. When I started the Kobe collection for my son I had no knowledge of card collecting. I just thought they were cool hahaha. Majority was raw and bought at individual or bulk. I never spent more than $50 per card or $100 for bulk. We never bought anything graded. I sent them all for grading. The only 2 grading companies that was popular then was BGS and PSA.
My son and I are very grateful we have this legend in our collection, hopefully it will stay with us for many years to come.
That had to be a 600k+
Nice collection! Where did you get that case?
Thank you, I appreciate the nice comment. The 1st case is “Card Case Pro” ≈$120 & the Kobe auto case is from Harbor Freight ≈$40. Hope that helps.
@@Howie1383 Yes it does I collect Tyrese maxey and want a nice case for my cards. Thank you
Nice collection man.
Thank you sir! Hope to make a video on Lebron, Zion, Ja, Tatum, Trae, etc., soon.
How did all the the plastic cases get so scratched up? Or does that just happened easly to all the cases because I see how well you take care of your cards. Just curious . Awesome collection
The one touch cases unfortunately do get scratch up very easily but I don’t mind as I can easily change them. The graded BGS & PSA I do try to be carefull on them but it does happen. If there is scratches on the graded slabs more than likely I bought them that way. There is a new company called “Superior Fit Sleeve” which I highly recommend for all your graded cards. After making the video I do have all of my graded cards now protected with plastic sleeve which it’s hard to tell on the video cause they fit so well. Hope that helps. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING.
They make sleeves for one touches
it's odd that all your psa slabs are the basic original often counterfeited labels. I'd never buy even one of those lol
You got an awesome collection. You open to trading? I have quite a few Kobe’s in my collection
Thank you sir. As of now I am holding off on trading, but I appreciate the offer.
Up for some trades? I have some nice Kobe’s.
@Bigkess I do like your Stardate in your “Be Gentle” bag. Which were you interested in?

Is the best picks bowman atomic refractor legit? I thought those cards only came as die cuts??
100% all my cards are legit!! Yes I thought so too that it comes in die cut only.
@@Howie1383 I’ve never seen a full card of thr bowman’s best picks for Kobe. Can you please point me to a pop report of that card.
Of the atomic refractor Best Picks.
@@iLuvGooold..Refractors ai would have to have it graded to have a pop report. I have tons of cards that just kinda want it raw.
Nice collection. Where did you buy that briefcase
Thank you!! Harbor Freight brotha...like $30-40.
How many of these did u pull yourself?
Thank you for watching. I pulled about 5% of my of entire PC from boxes which is not great ratio. So instead of buying dud boxes, I started just going for the cards which saved me tons of money.
I’m New too the card collecting and I got my hands on some Kobe cards too but I was wondering how do you get them graded and what plastic cover do you recommend to keep them safe
That’s awesome, just be cautious as this can be an expensive hobby. For protection definitely have each card on a penny sleeve saver and on top loader. For grading, there are a lot of companies out there, but I personally use either PSA or BGS only. Good luck. Hope this helps.
@@Howie1383 thank you I appreciate the reply
The market is exploding for Kobe right now. You plan on selling?
@ R Garcia Eventually I might sell but not now. Yes sports card in general is crazy high. Can never go wrong with Kobe cards, it might dip a little but for most part I think the value will just keep going up.
Wow great pc! Are any of these for sale? Thanks.
12:55
Where did you get black case from? Thanks
The case with BGS/PSA - “Card Case Pro” $100. The case with Kobe auto- Harbor Freight( $35-50). Hope that helps.

any of these for sale?

Did you purchase the cards or pull them from packs?
90% single card purchased.
@@Howie1383 interesting but I won't ask how much you spent lol. Those autos would look nice in PSA cases.
@@gmangman yes they would look nice on PSA case. I started collecting before the boom...when it was easier to get a hold of. And on the autos, got lucky acquiring them.
Hello...I love you collection bro... Go check out mine. U have cards I've never seen!!!
@tomarcuskelly 🙏🏼Thank you sir. You have a great collection yourself, I love all your cards.
Do not slam your cards man you don’t know what you have in your hand they can bend by you slamming them
Aww man thank you, I can’t believe all these years I didn’t realized I have been handling them wrong. I appreciate the advice.
I’m guessing you were pretty well off financially when buying these cards. And now very very well off financially 💰 . I feel so broke
You don’t need to be well off to invest at the right time and no I don’t think I am financially well off now but I like to think of it as my son having a chance to afford college education and for his future.
@@Howie1383 I have very low value cards compared to you . but luckily I’m in Australia and I won’t need $ for my boy to get a great education. So that’s a bonus 😀
This video is so inspiring, much respect 💯 I'm just admiring the dedication & envious of the collection. This is amazing
Thank you for the kind words🙏🏼
