PANINI ANNOUNCES

KOBE REDEMPTION PLANS

KOBE BRYANT’S SUDDEN PASSING IN JANUARY CREATED A LOT OF HOLES. WHILE MOST ARE EMOTIONAL, THERE ARE SOME MORE PRACTICAL THINGS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. TO THAT END, PANINI HAS ANNOUNCED PLANS FOR THE REMAINING KOBE BRYANT AUTOGRAPH REDEMPTIONS.

Depending on the card, it involves a couple of different things.

Some autographs are available that, wherever possible, collectors will receive. Panini said they will do what they can to match up the exact card from the redemption, however this won’t be the case for all. In those where it can’t be done, they said they’ll do their best to do something comparable.
