Books already exist about Kobe Bryant and his career. He achieved enough on the court that could probably warrant several more. This 2008-09 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Hinged Card gets to the point, highlighting several major accomplishments up to that point alongside some of the most enticing high-end basketball card features.
This is one of five Hinged Cards that Bryant has in 2008-09 Exquisite Collection. Each is a hand-numbered 1/1. Highlighting his NBA Championships, major awards and key stats, the card also has Mamba's signature on a large two-color swatch on one side. The other panel has four more pieces of memorabilia—one yellow, one purple and two white—cut in the shape of ""24 LA"", referencing his jersey number from the second half of his career and the iconic franchise he played for. Each piece of memorabilia comes from game-used gear.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 06/04/2026.
