2000-01 Upper Deck Ovation Kobe Bryant Game-Used All-Star Practice Jersey Card (BGS 9)

This is a highly collectible 2000-01 Upper Deck Ovation basketball card featuring the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. The card is professionally encapsulated and graded by Beckett Grading Services (BGS) with an overall grade of 9 (Mint). A primary feature of this card is the embedded 'game-used' or practice-worn material, specifically identified as an All-Star practice jersey fragment. The card's design features Kobe Bryant in his purple Lakers jersey during a game, with the Upper Deck logo in gold foil. The material swatch is visible in a dedicated window on the top right of the card surface within the slab. The item is housed in its original red and black 'Legendary Collection' presentation box, which includes custom foam padding to secure the graded slab. The slab itself appears to be in excellent condition with no visible surface scratches or cracks. The documentation on the BGS label notes 'Photo Matched', which significantly enhances the provenance and value for high-end sports memorabilia collectors. The card remains one of the more sought-after relic cards from the early 2000s era of premium sports card manufacturing.
