Kobe Gold /10 How many?

[Gem10collection]

Does anyone have a guesstimate or actually did the grind work to find how many examples feature The Kobe in a gold parallel to /10 in total? This would include all the sets such as prizm, optic, contenders, select, crusade but only the ones with a chromium refractor/prizms shine finish. And not just the base sets but all the subsets like Fearless or All Stars.

I'm going to throw out a number and say less than 2,000 in total.

I'll take the over.

[rifleman69]

over 9000!

Fair. But it can't be much over.

Seems like a good collecting goal. Color match even. Do you have an estimated cost for all these cards?

[r338]

Are you counting just the gold prizm? Or all the gold variations? Every product has so many variations numbered out of /10 or less.…gold prizm, gold disco, gold laser, gold shimmer, gold wave, black gold, etc.

Just the true gold prizms. But, during the years Kobe was in Panini sets there was far less of those other "gold's"

So just Kobe True Golds in Chromium finish only for Panini? Count the autos/mem cards or just the base?

I dont think Rick Carsyle is the one to ask. Let's get Mark Cuban on the phone.

Yes, only for the Penini era.

And yes, the auto and mem can be added but for the mem I think only spectra had a few sets and really nothing else.

This list is perfect!

Unfortunately, I think my guesstimate of 2000 Kobe Gold's /10 existing is probably well on the low end of reality. Obviously from 2016 to 2019 a lot more sets were made starting with one of my favorites Donruss Optic. It is interesting still that even though perhaps as many as four, five, or six thousand Kobe gold /10 exist and yet at any given time hardly any are listed for sale.

There are places where a gold Kobe is not only the ultimate security, but a family icon.
