Fleer Kobe Bryant Basketball Trading Card

This item is a standard-sized sports trading card, likely part of a set, featuring basketball player Kobe Bryant. The card is rectangular, made of cardstock, and exhibits a color image of Kobe Bryant in action, wearing a purple and gold Los Angeles Lakers jersey with the number 24 visible. He appears to be in mid-air, holding a basketball, suggesting a shot or dunk attempt. The background shows a basketball arena with spectators, indicating it's a game action shot. The card features a purple border framing the image, with a white band at the bottom. At the top left, the brand "FLEER" is distinctly visible in stylized red lettering against a white background, indicating the manufacturer. In the lower white band, 'KOBE BRYANT' is printed in bold black capital letters, and below that, 'GUARD - LOS ANGELES LAKERS' is printed in a lighter gray, identifying his position and team. A small circular logo, likely the Lakers logo, is partially visible on the right side of the image area. In terms of condition, the card appears to be in relatively good shape, with no immediately obvious major creases, tears, or significant corner wear visible from the provided image. The colors are vibrant, and the image clarity is acceptable, though the overall image resolution is somewhat low. The surface appears to be glossy, typical of many trading cards from the late 20th or early 21st century. The edges seem mostly clean, but a definitive assessment of perfect centering or print defects would require a clearer, higher-resolution view, especially of the reverse side. The card's design and manufacturing style suggest it is from the modern trading card era, possibly late 1990s to early 2000s, aligning with Kobe Bryant's playing career. Its quality is consistent with mass-produced sports cards.
