1996 Topps Chrome #138 Kobe Bryant SGC MINT 9. Combine the consistent popularity of any of Topps' Chrome issues with this rookie offering of one of the all-time icons of the sport and you get this prize, which literally sparkles with eye appeal. Shimmering gold highlights to Kobe's uniform and a silver border would be enticing enough without the SGC MT 9 grade, but put them all together and you have a very special keepsake of the legendary Black Mamba.
