With its 81/81 stamp, this 2016 Panini Impeccable Stats Auto honoring Kobe Bryant’s famous 81-point explosion stands as one of the appealing Mamba cards ever produced.
Making the move from football to basketball, 2016 marked the debut of Panini’s super-premium Impeccable product which averaged five autographs per box, providing a wide coverage of top rookies, active stars, and retired greats, as well as some key autograph inserts and beautiful water-ink designs. Printed as card #1 in a 19-card set, this Impeccable Stats Kobe Bryant insert documents his historic 81-point performance on January 22nd, 2006. Kobe stole headlines with this performance, carrying the L.A. Lakers to a 122-104 win against the Toronto Raptors. To this day, Kobe’s 81-point performance stands as the second most points scored in a single game, and quite possibly the most impressive performance in NBA history. This card’s beautiful design and that 81/81 serial number are sure to impress plenty of Premier Auction bidders this month.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 03/04/2025.
