I was wondering besides 1996-97 Topps Chrome what is another Kobe Bryant rookie to purchase for a future investment? Kobe is 5th all-time in scoring and should surpass Michael Jordan at the beginning of next season. He's only 7800 away from being the all-time leader in points scored. I think within the next 4 years he should claim the record. Kobe is only 34

    I believe the 1996-97 E-X2000 is his "second best" RC.

    His Chrome Refractor is very costly indeed!

    Baring inserts of course, I think the Finest base or Bowman's Best base would be considered this next best after the Chrome. I was watching a base Chrome on ebay this weekend and was surprised to see BGS 9s going for 300-350 consistently. Lots of high graded examples out there yet it still sells pretty high. To think those were $50 boxes collecting dust on retail shelves when they came out.

    I agree that the Topps Chrome is the best! I picked this one up at last years National for $ 400.00. I was thinking about buying all his rookies but they really seem to drop off in value after the chrome.

    I bought tons of b-ball in 1996-97 and had maybe hundreds of Kobe RC's of all types. Now I can't find any of that stuff. I bought a 9.5 Finest Kobe recently for good value from eBay.
