One of the rarest Kobe Bryant cards sold last week for a record $2 million, making it the most expensive card ever sold of the Lower Merion High School grad and Los Angeles Lakers star, writes Eduardo Gonzalez for the Los Angeles Times.

The sale of the 1997-98 Metal Universe Precious Metal Gems Emerald Kobe Bryant card occurred privately, according to PWCC Marketplace, an online trading card marketplace.

The card depicts the Black Mamba, wearing No. 8, passing a basketball against an emerald background. The card is not autographed and is not a rookie card.

The condition of the card received high scores, including 9.5 for centering, 8.5 for edges, 8 for corners, and 9 for surfaces. The overall grading awarded by Beckett Grading Service was 8.5.

That is the company’s highest score, according to Jesse Craig, director of business development at PWCC.

“This is arguably Kobe’s best card in existence,” he said. “It’s more desirable than even a Kobe Bryant rookie card or an autograph. The grade on this is also the highest that exists, with only one other BGS 8.5 in the world.”
