I\'ve only taken this card out of the case once since I received it from Topps circa 1997 and that was to transfer it to the case it\'s currently in. I don\'t dare take it out for fear of scratching a potentially $10,000+ card. If I supported PSA I would send it in for grading, but I can\'t possibly do that considering all the BS they\'re putting collectors through. I was considering sending it to SGC but it wouldn\'t increase the value like it would at PSA or BGS and they also have a 100+ day wait now despite tripling their fees.Yes, it\'s priced higher than your average raw Kobe redemption RC, and there\'s a reason for that. I believe this card has a good chance at Geming. Luckily PSA allows the centering be slightly off on their 10s, as this is the only thing I can detect wrong with this card. I am not a pro grader, that is my opinion but I took numerous pictures for you to see for yourself.If it grades a 9, the value is still in the 4k range and it keeps going up month after month.If you\'re a serious buyer and want pics of the card out of the case, I can probably do that. I saw no surface stuffs or print lines when I took it out though and I\'d rather not handle it naked if
I don\'t absolutely have to.Good luck, and have fun negotiating over this extremely rare grail.
