1996 Fleer Metal #181 Kobe Bryant Rookie Card — “Robert Pack” Factory Error — PSA 8 NM-MT

This rare 1996 Fleer Metal #181 Kobe Bryant rookie card showcases an unusual factory error where the embossed foil name reads “Robert Pack” instead of Kobe Bryant. Despite the misprint, the card clearly features Kobe in his classic early Lakers uniform — an iconic image from his debut season.

Graded PSA 8 (Near Mint-Mint), this card represents a fascinating piece of hobby history from the 1990s, when bold metallic designs and production quirks defined the era. The combination of Kobe’s rookie appearance and the rare error makes this an exceptional collector’s piece — ideal for those who value both rarity and storytelling in their collection.
