A Kobe Bryant card was sold privately for $2 million, PWCC Marketplace announced Tuesday, becoming the most expensive sale ever for a card of the late Lakers star.
The sale is particularly notable because the card–a 1997–98 Metal Universe Precious Metal Gems Emerald–is not a rookie card. It also does not contain an autograph from Bryant or a game-used memorabilia swatch. It is only one of 10 to exist, per Sports Collectors Digest’s Jeff Owens.
However, the Bryant card is still in remarkable condition, which is extremely rare for this particular set of delicate cards, according to PWCC.
