2010-11 Panini Timeless Treasures Material Jerseys #1 -- Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers, serial numbered 12/99. A large game-worn jersey swatch on the number one card of the set, with only ninety-nine copies made.
Set details: 2010-11 Panini Timeless Treasures, \"Material Jerseys\" memorabilia parallel of the base card, card #1, serial numbered 12/99 on the back. Sport: Basketball. League: National Basketball Association (NBA). Manufacturer: Panini America. Original licensed product, printed in the United States.
Memorabilia / certificate: The back reads: \"THE ENCLOSED GAME-WORN SWATCH IS GUARANTEED BY PANINI AMERICA, INC.\" Panini states game-worn here, not event-worn, and that wording is quoted exactly as printed on the card. No third-party grading or certification number; authenticity rests on Panini\'s own guarantee.
Appearance & swatch detail: Raw, not in a holder. The swatch is a large rectangular piece of gold Lakers jersey knit, single colour, with no stripe, seam, letter, number or logo, set into the lower centre of the card below the portrait. The white borders are clean and bright with no toning or handling marks, the corners are sharp, the edges are smooth and the surface is free of creasing or scratching. Centring is good front and back. The serial 12/99 on the reverse is crisply printed.
Worth knowing: Serial 12/99 verified against the card in hand. Card #1 in a set carries extra appeal for collectors who chase first cards, and a ninety-nine copy print run on a Kobe relic is genuinely limited.
Player career: Bryant was taken 13th overall in 1996 straight out of Lower Merion High School and traded to the Lakers, where he spent all twenty of his seasons. He won five championships (2000, 2001, 2002, 2009 and 2010), the 2008 regular season MVP, and back-to-back Finals MVP awards in 2009 and 2010. He was an eighteen-time All-Star and four-time All-Star Game MVP, won two scoring titles, scored 81 points against Toronto in January 2006 and 60 in his final game in 2016, and took Olympic gold with the United States in 2008 and 2012. He finished with 33,643 career points.
