1. 2007 UD Exquisite Collection Kobe Bryant / Michael Jordan Dual Logoman Auto PSA 6
Price: $6,222,000 (8/23/25)
The only copy ever made, this card pairs Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant on a single dual Logoman autograph — both featuring game-used NBA patches and on-card signatures. As the lone example in existence from the most iconic basketball product of all-time, it’s considered one of the most important modern basketball ever made. In August 2025, it sold for $6.22 million, setting the record for the most expensive Kobe Bryant card ever.
2. 2015 Panini Flawless Kobe Bryant Logoman Auto 1/1
Price: $2,320,000 (8/1/25)
The crown jewel of Kobe Bryant’s Panini era, this 2015 Flawless Logoman Autograph is the only copy produced during his playing days. It’s also the very first publicly documented sale of any Kobe Flawless Logoman Auto, closing at $2.32 million in August 2025. With just three Flawless Kobe Logoman Autos in existence, this one holds special weight as the lone playing-career Flawless Logoman — a true one-of-one piece of Mamba history.
3. 2016 Panini Flawless Kobe Bryant Logoman Auto 1/1
Price: $1,700,000 (8/1/25)
Issued the season after Kobe’s farewell tour, this 2016 Flawless Logoman Autograph is one of only two post-career Logoman autos Kobe ever had in Flawless. Featuring a bold, full-name signature and a game-used NBA Logoman patch, it realized $1.7 million in August 2025. Together with the 2015 edition and one other, it completes the trio of Kobe Bryant Flawless Logoman Autographs — all true 1/1s and among the most important modern grails in the hobby.
4. 2003 UD Exquisite Collection Gold Parallel RPA LeBron James /23 BGS 8.5/Auto 10
Price: $1,220,000 (2/22/25)
The 2003 UD Exquisite Collection Gold Parallel RPA LeBron James /23 is one of the most prestigious and sought-after rookie patch autographs in existence. As a parallel of the legendary Exquisite RPA, this card takes exclusivity to another level, with only 23 copies produced—a nod to LeBron’s iconic jersey number. While the standard RPA (/99) is already considered the most important modern basketball card, the gold version’s extreme scarcity elevates it into true grail territory for high-end collectors. This particular copy, graded BGS 8.5 with a 10 auto, remains in strong condition given the set’s notoriously fragile edges and chipping-prone foil design.
5. 2009 UD Exquisite Collection Dual Logoman Autograph LeBron James-Kobe Bryant 1/1 PSA 6.5/Auto 9
Price: $1,161,440 (6/14/25)
The 2003 UD Exquisite Collection Gold Parallel RPA LeBron James /23 is one of the most prestigious and sought-after rookie patch autographs in existence.
