Three factory-sealed 1996-97 Bowman’s Best Premier Edition NBA Basketball hobby boxes, an important unopened product from the celebrated 1996 NBA draft class. The 125-card series includes rookie cards of Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Steve Nash, Ray Allen, Jermaine O’Neal and others, together with Michael Jordan and many of the era’s leading stars. Particularly significant are the Refractor and Atomic Refractor parallels; base Refractors were inserted approximately 1:12 hobby packs and Atomic Refractors approximately 1:24, with additional Refractor and Atomic Refractor versions of several insert series. Kobe Bryant appears as rookie card R23 and in the Best Picks insert series. Each box remains unopened in its original Topps factory shrink wrap with NBA holographic security seal.
