Thank You. Yeah, at this point I'd hope for prices to come down a bit before acquiring more.

Great Kobe Collection, congrats! It's amazing how those topps took off. The E-X 2000 is my favorite base set of all time, unfortunately I don't have that beautiful Kobe. The Eddie Jones EX 2000 the actual first card I bought as a single card back in 98 :) Also, thanks for showing the back of the SPX 97; that great picture of Kobe and Eddie makes me want to find a copy for my PC! Also love the design of the E-Xciting. I am lucky to have two high-end Kobes in my PC: Star Date 2000 and Slam Funk. Seems unbelievable that I got those for $10 and $20 about ten years ago! But my favorite Kobe card is still my pack-pulled Competitive Advantage :) I'd love to see more top 10s of this kind. Just a suggestion, it would be cool if you could include the odds of the inserts in such videos as well!

Nice collection. I got some true Kobe rookies from when I was a kid. Kobe was all I collected when I was 13....lost them all...2 months ago my parents found all my Kobe's in my book of all Kobe's. Couldn't believe it. I got alot of his rookies. Top end stuff, worth alot. Don't know if I wanna sell any of them or not....and I got alot of doubles and triples of his rookie cards. Can't believe they found them. But u have a nice collection too. He's the Goat!!! 🐐

Glad I found your channel. I prefer graded cards because they feel more protected to me. One thing - I actually prefer the 1996 Topps 50th Kobe RC with the Chrome border. The graded populations of PSA 8 and higher are in the hundreds compared to the 1000s of base Topps.

Absolutely love this video! Definitely ungraded for my PC but certain cards I understand need to be slabbed just to preserve them... my kobe Chrome and EX and Flair rookies along with a few others are for this reason. I don’t care what number it’s graded (obviously I’d prefer higher but if there’s a 7 that passes the eye test I’ll snag one.) Curious why the Kobe patch was in the HM, was it just because it was the siblings card? It’s a beauty and I know the value would have been near the top of the ten? Thanks again for putting so much great information out for the masses in these videos, it really is appreciated

raw is my preference 100%. I like to keep my PC in folders, and if I was to get my collection graded it would cost $15K or more and then I don't know how I would store or display them all. In the past I have cracked PSA 10's out of cases so I could place the cards in my folders. I have some PSA cards coming in the mail this year and I may keep them in PSA cases for the time being, just in case I can buy them raw for cheaper and then sell the PSA slabbed cards.

90% of my collection is raw. I would love to have most of them graded. but when I get any money I seem to spend my money on more cards. I think it could be smart though for the reason to have them authenticated because people keep getting better at counterfeiting. I bought a Shaq & Magic dual auto that I knew was counterfeit when I got it and it was pretty good even seen some graded so even the pros miss them sometimes. So even to just get a time stamp. With the prices cards are going for these days will only bring out more. But the wait I hear is pretty crazy right now.

E-X 2000 is still undervalued even after the recent spikes in price imo. It's his best looking RC. I mean Topps Chrome Raw is still like 4x to 5x the value of EX 2000, and paper Topps Rc is only slighlty cheaper than EX 2000 Rc which is insane imo.
