Offered is an original 1996-97 Bowman’s Best Basketball Hobby Box, one of the most desirable chromium releases from the iconic 1996 NBA Draft class. Each hobby box contains 24 packs, with 6 cards per pack, including a strong mix of base cards, Best Cuts inserts, and potential Atomic Refractors. This star-studded set is anchored by rookie cards of Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Ray Allen, Steve Nash, Stephon Marbury, and Jermaine O’Neal—many of which are available in both standard and atomic refractor versions, offering major upside for collectors and investors. Bowman’s Best stood out with its premium card stock and refractor parallels, making high-grade rookies and inserts highly sought after to this day. Sealed boxes from this release are increasingly scarce and provide a rare shot at pulling pack-fresh Kobe rookies and other Hall of Fame talent. An elite hobby box from one of the greatest rookie classes of all time—perfect for sealed collectors, prospectors, or 1990s basketball fans.
