Alt Buys 1997 Kobe Bryant PMG Green for $3.15 Million to Set Standalone Bryant Card Record

The ultra-rare green PMG, limited to ten copies, shows how top cards are now treated as investable assets.

Overview

  • Alt announced Thursday it bought the 1997 Precious Metal Gems Green Kobe Bryant card in a private deal for $3.15 million, the highest price for a Bryant-only card.
  • The green PMG finish appears only on the first ten cards in the 100-card run, while the remaining ninety were produced with a red background.
  • The purchased card carries a PSA 5 grade, and only three green Bryant PMGs have PSA grades, with one graded higher.
  • The price surpasses a $2.4 million private sale reported in September, following a separate green PMG that sold for $2 million in 2022.
  • Alt acquired the card for its dedicated fund and will store it in its Delaware vault, reflecting a market where a Bryant–Jordan Dual Logoman reached $12.93 million and analysts value the sports card market near $14.9 billion.
