In 1996, Flair Showcase’s tiered Rows captivated collectors. The release featured cards with different row numbers that each had their own theme. Row 2 represents “Style,” Row 1 represents “Grace,” and Row 0 consists of “Showcase” cards that were by far the hardest of the three types to pull from packs. On top of that, there was a Legacy Collection parallel. These versions have teal foil text and an identifying stamp on the front and black-and-white imagery and a /150 serial number on the back.
A select few of Kobe’s cards truly represent the magnitude of his magnificence. This Row 1 rookie issue, which shines magnificently when tilted, remains one of them.
This is one of just 10 copies to receive a Gem Mint 10 grade from PSA. This card has also earned Fanatics Collect–E Eye Appeal designation.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 01/08/2026.
