A Kobe Bryant Immaculate Primer: Peeking the Superstar’s Stunning New Arrivals

As the collecting world anxiously awaits the arrival of Panini America’s powder-keg conclusion to the 2012-13 NBA collecting season (first with the release of Flawless Basketball next Friday followed a few weeks later by Immaculate Basketball), the product developments for those two releases keep getting better and better.

Late last week, Panini Authentic’s Brian Bayne traveled to Las Vegas for an extensive signing session with the incomparable Kobe Bryant, one of Panini America’s exclusive superstar spokesmen. In addition to autographing several new items for Panini Authentic, Bryant also added his priceless penmanship to every last one of his autographs slated for 2012-13 Immaculate Basketball.

The following gallery provides a tip-of-the-iceberg peek into these collection-making monuments. We’ll have plenty more to preview on Immaculate in the coming days and weeks right here on The Knight’s Lance. But today, is all about the immaculate — and the Immaculate — Kobe Bryant.

Enjoy.
