Panini America sets Guinness world record with Kobe Bryant basketball card at NBA Jam Session
Nobody’s Kobe Bryant collection is big enough for this.
Panini America set a Guinness World Record on Saturday for the largest autographed game-used jersey card when it was unveiled in Arlington, Texas, at the NBA Jam Session.
A 7×5 foot prime patch card of the Los Angeles Lakers star was unveiled at the event and was autographed by Bryant. The card features a 15×15 inch swatch of one of his game-used Lakers jerseys showing the entire front panel of the jersey.
No word on its street value just yet...

That is genuinely one of the coolest things I have seen an athlete do with a card company, I am a Celtics fan, but that’s impressive by Kobe.
HAHAHA…somewhat unnecessary, but also unique.
NOW WHAT PANINI NEEDS TO DO IS PUT A REDEMPTION CARD OF THIS IN ONE OF IT.S PRODUCTS FOR THAT CARD. SAFE TO SAY THIS WOULD THE GREATEST ONE OF ONE EVER MADE.
