At the same time, you can rely on me to be completely honest in my listing practices. I do not attempt to hide any flaws or defects. Rather, I do my best to emphasize all condition-related issues through the pictures. I will absolutely describe (in the last paragraph of this section) any flaws I notice that are difficult to capture in pictures or that I believe might go unnoticed. So, not only do I believe in maintaining integrity in the industry, I also see no benefit to temporarily misleading buyers. Please understand that mistakes do happen. I may overlook a condition issue, or I may forget to point something out after making a mental note to do so. Just send me a message explaining the issue and I will try my best to resolve it. If the mistake was on my part, I will make things right. I do not examine graded cards for condition. If the condition of the brick is important to you, please ask me for pics and I will be happy to oblige. It will be properly packaged to arrive at your door exactly as shown in the pics. All cards sent in or with a new case. I don’t use scotch tape! This extremely rare Kobe card is a parallel within a parallel. The 1999-00 Topps Gold Label base set includes 100 cards and each is printed in 3 classes, Class 1 being the base, and Class 3 being the rarest, inserted 1:8 packs. With a 100-card set, pulling the regular Class 3 Kobe is 1:800 packs. There’s also a black label for each class. The Class 3 Black Label is 1:48 packs, making the Kobe 1:4800 packs. Calculating the total number of packs using the odds of pulling serial-numbered cards, I found that 799,500 packs were produced. Divide that by 4800 and you find that 167 cards were produced of each Class 3 Black Label! The total PSA POP for this card is 7 (three 8s, three 9s, one 10). I believe this card will grade 9 for the reasons explained below. This card has perfect, razor-sharp corners and edges. Also, the centering appears to be perfect. The only thing preventing this from being gem mint is minor surface imperfections. The front surface has a couple spots in the top-right corner, some of which are part of the card and are on all copies. The back has a couple horizontal lines near the top. The surface issues are minor, no scratches that indent and nothing that can be seen except by close examination. The pics to this listing provide a complete and accurate description of the condition of this card.
