2008 Exquisite Collection Limited Logos Kobe Bryant PATCH AUTO 23/24 BGS 9 MINT

In 2003, Upper Deck stunned basketball card collectors with the release of Exquisite Collection. “(The price of) Exquisite was met with a lot of resistance,” said Karvin Cheung, who conceptualized the brand. “I even had feedback meetings with a lot of stores. A lot of local card shops were like, ‘You are absolutely insane and crazy. You’re going to kill the Upper Deck brand.’ Everyone just trashed it. ... But another person asked me, ‘Were you confident it would work?’ Absolutely.” At $500 per one-pack box, the landmark product set new standards for what high-end cards should look like, so Cheung ensured it delivered the best players and concepts on the checklist to maximize the value to collectors. And when it comes to the best and most coveted players to grace Exquisite Collection checklists, Kobe Bryant stands amongst the most revered Just as the Black Mamba remains one of the most sought-after targets of the Exquiste Era, Limited Logos remain some of the most beloved inserts from the groundbreaking product. The cards’ oversized, game-used patches and on-card autos make them treasured years after their production, with this Kobe showcasing many of the qualities that make these printings so popular. The card’s beautiful gold foil accents combine wonderfully with both the image of Kobe and the game-used swatch within the patch window, while the white section in which Kobe signed presents a crisp, clean canvas for this example’s 10-grade signature. Interest in this legendary Limited Logos is likely to be anything but limited this month.
