Fleer/SkyBox’s Essential Credentials Future and Now cards remain some of the most coveted creations of the late ‘90s and early 2000s. With the Future version’s print run serial numbered in contrast to a player’s spot on the checklist, Kobe Bryant's card #10 in the 90-card set had a print run /81. Little could Fleer/SkyBox and collectors know just how meaningful that number would be, with Mamba lighting up the Toronto Raptors for 81 points on January 22, 2006. While that stands as the second-most points scored in an NBA game, this crucial Kobe parallel will likely end up first on plenty of bidders' target lists this month.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 06/12/2025.
