Redemption Comes In The Form Of Gold Thanks To A Panini And Kobe Mailday

My other Auto is a Kobe.

Folks in Southern California will appreciate that joke as well as the card I just received today in the mail.

Just on the heels of checking out images and videos of the new 2011 Panini Gold Standard Football over at The Knight's Lance, I signed for and opened a package from Panini.  Here is what I found inside.

The fulfilled redemption of my 2010-11 Panini Gold Standard 24 Karat Kobe Signatures #15, the card I pulled back in August.  It is a beautiful card!  Here is the back.

It comes complete with Kobe's personal #24 verification sticker on the upper left.

This comes right after posting my video box break of 2010-11 Panini Elite Black Box.  This is one the cards I pulled from that box.

Both of these Kobe Autograph Cards are even more impressive in person.  It is difficult to see the fine details that make these cards really special in these scans.  I'll be holding onto both of them for a very long time.

Gotta love those great maildays!
