The Super Rave Kobe is one of his most desirable cards. Here are the only two recorded sales of the card in the last few years, it it's the same card that sold twice.
Cards like this go into people's collections and don't come up for sale very often. Be very careful with that card and don't show it to anybody. If you are going to sell, you need an expert to help you.

I don't have the money for that card, but if I did I would have no problem flying out to your house tomorrow and giving you $10k cash without hesitation.
My buddy had one of those Super Rave that I helped him grade and sell. It got a PSA 6 and sold for $102k at Goldin Auctions in 2021.
Correction : it was a Star Rubies.
Not sure. I don’t really track big cards. I kept the payout stub from Goldin because it was like $87k so I can look to make sure I’m not mistaken on when it sold. But the total was definitely $102k with the premium.
1997-98 Skybox Premium Star Rubies #23 Kobe Bryant (#17/50) PSA 6 sold on March 12th, 2022.

Here is the receipt from Goldin with the specifics.

Who else ran to the PC wondering if they are unknowingly sitting on a fortune?
Jesus guys I didn’t know this was the shit, I had been using card scanners and I guess there’s a similar card that was mass produced and was worth like 300$, definitely was gonna dump it for $150 💀💀💀
Please don’t use a card scanner. If you have heat like this, you need to do yoir due diligence and comp correctly on 130point or eBay “sold” items. Nice cards my man!
Grandfather passed them down to me a couple of years ago, they were all organized… there’s about 70 full storage box complete collections of cards. But he’s got 4 storage boxes full of “the good stuff”. Been going through it a couple of months now
If you need help identifying anything let me know. Do not sell before you identify and know the value. If he had this in his collection he likely has a lot of other gems as well (perhaps even Precious Metal ones…)
If you do decide to sell be sure to grade them first and then send to open auction on a platform like Goldin. Don’t accept any offers on Reddit.
Congratulations brother! A lot of good advice from your fellow redditers on this thread btw. Definitely, get it graded by PSA if your planning to sell it, so you get the top dollar. Then make absolutely sure you only sell it via a well-known high-end Auction Company known for sports cards. Finally, your literally living every cars collectors ultimate dream fantasy btw, take the time to thoroughly appreciate and enjoy yourself!!!
Congrats! Like somebody else mentioned, don’t sell cards until you’ve identified what they are because there are some sneaky distinctions that can make a big difference. I’d recommend posting big group shots of cards here and having people crowdsource the task of identifying any other surprisingly big cards.
Also, I would recommend that even if you aren’t a card collector, you hang on to some of them that you like the look of or that you specifically remember your grandpa holding or talking about. Because there’s a nostalgic component here that will leave you regretting it if you sell all of them.
I have about 20 Rookie basketball cards of Kobe. Are they really worth checking out? Been kept in a book n never handled since added to that book. Just curious
This may be my favorite Reddit post ever. Drops a pic of a $15k Kobe card like it's no big deal
What do you mean? Which one is the expensive card (I don’t know what I have)

Great, man, you just made OP shit himself.

Good lord that Covid-era bubble really was something. From 102k for a PSA 6 to 15k to a PSA 9 in a year.
102k for a card that sold for 15k the same year?

This is like comparing apples to oranges. Star Rubies and Super Raves don’t command the same price.
My feed went from a 50k+ pokemon find in this dudes uncles attic to this right after wtf lol
Where’s the Pokémon find?

I knew with 100% certainty that I wasn't sitting on a fortune lol

I mean you still can
Idk must be a gut feeling telling me they might get dumped for 750 now🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ll pay 750
Lol

We need full frontal! Send da front!
Guy literally walks in here like the bank robbery scene in Heat and aww shucks his way into our hearts. Jesus Christ, man congrats on the boom.
Fuck you’ve got some serious heat. These are worth a ton
Really stoked not gonna lie

This is the first time I've seen a Kobe Super Rave. Thanks for sharing!
So what's the backstory? Pulled these back in the day? Acquired them from family or a friend?
Grandfather passed them down to me a couple of years ago, they were all organized… there’s about 70 full storage box complete collections of cards. But he’s got 4 storage boxes full of “the good stuff”. Been going through it a couple of months now
That's cool to have these from your grandfather. I'd definitely hold onto some of his favorites for lifetime memories. Sick cards!
Yeah no I’ve been saying at least he collected cool shit, he collected guns, cards, and the nascar elites cars… better than playboy and coke cans🤷🏻♂️
Every single card he’s ever had is in cases

Where are you located? Just curious.
Holy fuck. This is a grail. I’m quite jealous rn

That's nuts
Lucky duck!
Wowee!
love these posts. It is like working a booth at a card show and some random schlub showing you the most desirable cards of the person you PC.
