Overview

  • A 2015 Panini Flawless Kobe Bryant Logoman card reportedly fetched $2.3 million in a private sale on Aug. 13, setting a new mark for Bryant collectibles.
  • A 2007 Upper Deck dual Logoman with autographs and game-used patches from Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan is slated for auction Aug. 23 with an estimated top bid of $6 million.
  • Both the private sale price and the auction estimate remain unconfirmed in public records and stem from intermediary reports by CLLCT and the New York Post.
  • If realized, the $6 million result would surpass the $5.9 million Stephen Curry Logoman sale of July 2021 as the highest price for a basketball trading card.
  • Collectors are driving demand for ultra-rare cards featuring authenticated autographs, high PSA grades and game-worn materials, while sale format continues to shape price transparency.
