2000 Upper Deck Game Jerseys Combo Michael Jordan & Kobe Bryant /10 BGS 8 NM-MT Feb 16 Written By Crista Moreno The relationship between Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant will forever be special. What started off as rivals quickly matured into a brotherhood—bonded by each other’s overwhelming desire to be the greatest of all-time. As Kobe's entry into the league began, and with Jordan choosing retirement after the '97-98 season, these two legends had a short time together in the NBA, only meeting eight times throughout their careers; four being years later when MJ returned to the Washington Wizards. Speaking for all NBA fans, what would’ve been if Jordan did not retire? The historical games we could’ve seen between these two fierce competitors will now always be a fantasy. Much like the few matchups they had in the NBA, these two also have only met a few times on an Upper Deck product, and when they do, desirability ensues as well as investment potential. Offered is the very first dual on-card autograph and game-worn jersey card ever issued within a product, as well as the first card to pair Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan together with on card autographs and game-worn materials. Released in Series 2 hobby boxes and shortly printed to ten was this 2000 Upper Deck Game Jerseys UD Combo Autograph Jersey card which was the single most desirable card one could pull from the issue. Serial stamped 09/10 in the bottom right, the card is encapsulated within a Beckett 8 holder and presents beautiful eye appeal throughout. Two remarkable player photos are used, capturing the intensity that both legends brought to the hardcourt. The game-worn material embedded within are solid colors, being Bulls’ red and Lakers’ purple. In addition, the signatures presented are struck directly on the card, penned in blue ink, and assessed as MINT by Beckett. To this day, the connection between these two is something that will live on even with the tragic passing of Kobe. Passionate investors and collectors of these two should highly consider this card as this early insert is in many ways museum worthy - combing rarity, importance, beauty, and nostalgia all on one single card. This card recently sold of a record $516,000 back in April, 2021. We can only expect this card will continue to shatter records each time it is offered up. By far one of our favorites and will sure to be one of yours. Comes with PWCC’s highest level of enthusiasm. Crista Moreno
