1997-98 Topps O-PEE-CHEE Kobe Bryant #171 PSA 9 **POP 5**

Description: Up for auction is a 1997-98 Topps O-PEE-CHEE Kobe Bryant #171 PSA 9 **POP 5** Card has been graded a 9 by PSA Please check out the pictures for more detail. Although primarily associated with MLB Baseball, Topps introduced the O-PEE-CHEE parallel with NBA Basketball for only two years. First in the 1997-98 season and second during the 1998-99 season. Top players from these release years include Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan. These rare cards were released as a true "Canada" insert and only sold in retail Canadian packs. On a statistical basis, The O-PEE-CHEE parallel is anywhere between 5-10x rarer than the associated Topps Chrome Refractor. Both cards when found are a highly submittable collectible. The Kobe Bryant 171 OPC holds top book value among all players from both years. Unique among the top 4 players listed above is that the 1997-98 Kobe Bryant O-PEE-CHEE was continuously cut off-center from the factory unlike the common Topps and Topps Chrome sets. Only 5 PSA 9 OPC parallels exist and there has never been a PSA 10 in 25 years of grading. PSA 9 is the highest grade attainable on the Kobe Bryant card unless a truly centered card surfaces. One has never been seen, and most submissions end with PSA 8 and below for this reason. Rare opportunity to own a PSA 9 from Kobe's second year. Much rarer than Topps Chrome Refractors.
