1996-97 Flair Showcase Kobe Bryant Class Of 96 Rookie Card RC Lakers

Description: I have for sale: a 1996-97 Flair Showcase Class of Ninety-six Kobe Bryant Rookie Card/ RCIt is not graded because card grading was not a thing back in 1996 (27 years ago), nor was it in the realm of my reality then when I traded a bunch of my Penny Hardaway cards for this Kobe card (already in a pennysleeve/ ps & toploader/ tl). It's been in the same ps and tl for 27 years until last week (Jul 2023) when I found it in my boxes among my books and I took it out of the old ps and tl and put it in my newer pennysleeve and toploader.It's in imo pristine condition with no colors loss/ fade/ greening whatsoever because it's never been exposed to direct sunlight, and I put the pennysleeve upside down inside toploader so it minimizes air exposure to the card.An eBay sale of PSA 10 version of this card netted the seller $3050 (AU$4450): https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PSA-10-GEM-MINT-1996-FLAIR-SHOWCASE-KOBE-BRYANT-4-CLASS-OF-039-96-LAKERS-ROOKIE-RC-/304906639549?mkcid=16&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=3ZNHfjoQT0C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=E_ueTegHTIG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY&nma=true&si=zIW1sniQjiPKz btYnDx0cjpi5s=&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557If a grading company like PSA grades it today, imo I think it should be a 10, or a 9 at the very least. But please note it's my opinion and I am not a professional grader, please message me if you have any questions regarding the condition or if you need any more pictures to confirm everything before deciding to buy.Note: When you zoom in on the pictures, there might appear some scuffs but all scuffs are 100% on the toploader frame, and definitely not on the card itself. As aforementioned, card has been in same pennysleeve and toploader for 27 years ever since I traded for it in 1996, until last week when I replaced with newer ps and tl.Please feel free to message me with reasonable offers.
