Gold looks good with any player, but there's something extra special when it's paired with Kobe Bryant. A symbol of luxury and success, gold is also typically a representation of rarity when it comes to basketball cards. All of this is true when it comes to this 2013-14 Panini Select Gold Prizm Kobe Bryant. Numbered /10, only his /5 Green and 1/1 Black Prizm parallels are more rare. This particular copy is the 10/10 bookend.
Part of the second Select Basketball release since Panini brought back the brand, the base set was a lot different than it would evolve into a short time later. Future Select sets adopted a tiered system where many top players would have multiple base cards, each with an assortment of parallels. Here, Bryant has just one base card and one set of parallels.
Just one copy in the BGS registry has a higher grade than this Gem Mint 9.5.
Of course, with Gold, there's also the team color match that adds to the card's stunning visual appeal.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 11/13/2025.
