Default Kobe contenders Auto Set... Personal thoughts?

The new Kobe Contenders Auto set is #'d to 17 cards I believe??

I really like the design of the cards...

Kobe Contenders by Tony Dyckmans, on Flickr

What are your thoughts on the cards? Future potential?

SP SSP? Some cards better than others?

Thanx!!

Tony

Kobe must have 25,000 Panini autos by now. I would only buy as a collector.

This post has not aged well. And it’s less than two years later.

They have gotten cheaper, fortunately for you. Some bgs 9.5’s were going for five figures during the pandemic pump - now settling at $3500.

In KhalDrogo's defence, that post was written a couple of weeks prior to Kobe's untimely death; which completely & unexpectedly changed the game as far as his cards were concerned.

Love the look of the set. Agree, it has a old school classy look to it.

I've noticed that a lot of the autos run off the edge of the card.

I've been watching auctions of these on eBay and they are going for CRAZY money. I would love to get a jersey #8 Frobe auto at some point, and I like the look of a few of these, but I'm not willing to pay these prices. Hopefully they come back to earth at some point after this initial wave passes:

I think the first few will get good $$ as people try and make the set as quick as possible.

Top 5 non Patch Panini Kobe Auto’s IMO- especially since each card has no more than 10 copies. the Championship tributes specifically stands out.

2012 Silver Prizms Auto
2016 Noir Vertical
Impeccable Numbers/Stats
2019 Impeccable Victory
2019 Contenders (Championships) Tributes

Where did you get the bolded part information from? I know that these cards are rare, but I can't recall Panini officially announcing the print run of each card.

Just a guesstimate. Some cards in that series are rarely found on EBAY and other social media platforms, group breaks. PSA/BGS pop are also very low.

To this day, I’m still looking for his Contenders draft pick auto. I’ve only seen it twice. Once on EBAY last year and another on IG.

I watched quite a few contenders breaks, and these typically fell once per case about. With a 17 card set, there has to be more than 10 per copy..

No. Contenders hobby only. He has green shimmer autos in fat packs, but those might be redemptions?

Mine was just an estimate. There’s 43 graded in PSA and 60 in BGS.

And those are the total numbers for a 34 card set. Even if you disregard the other 17 were through redemption, it’s pretty low for a card that falls in 1 per case.

Let me add a few key ones you may have overlooked:

Notable Nicknames Inscriptions Black Mamba, Vino, MVP
Immaculate Title Winners
Noir Spotlight Signatures first year
Immaculate Milestones (retirement year - podium)
National Treasures Personalized (any)

I'm biased because I have one but the 2015 Flawless Now & Then one has to be in there. Bookends for his career and both jerseys are represented.
