Recently, hip hop icon Snoop Dogg, as a longtime Los Angeles Lakers fan, participated in a card-pulling segment in collaboration with Whistle Sports hosted DJ Skee. The California rapper couldn’t believe his eyes when DJ Skee revealed to him a gold chrome PSA 10 rookie card of the late Kobe Bryant.

The rookie features a young Kobe Bryant playing in his rookie campaign back in the 1996-97 season and is worth over $30K today. Purchasing a $30,000 rookie card may seem unthinkable to many, but the prices of late basketball player memorabilia, most especially his rookie cards are expected to raise in the future.

Most of the card collectors bet their money on young players since their rookie cards are cheaper as compared to the more established stars, so it certainly makes for an interesting piece of investment that is expected to pay its dividends.
