It's part of a 15-card set that was never publicly released. There was a Kobe card too ------------------------------- * Ed * L8 * Cards in my personal Collection are unavailable *

Because it wasn't publically released does that mean it is not listed here on the database? ------------------------------- ~J B

Correct. Anything that wasn't meant to get out to the public doesn't get listed ------------------------------- * Ed * L8 * Cards in my personal Collection are unavailable *

So why is the 1993-1994 set listed of behind the glass listed? Isn't that under the same assumption of never released to the public as well? Does that mean this card is worthless or valuable? https://www.tcdb.com/Gallery.cfm/sid/2202/1993-94-Upper-Deck-Special-Edition---Behind-the-Glass ------------------------------- SHANE OLSON

Another example of something that isn't listable on here: 1998 Pinnacle Certified. The company went bankrupt before this set could be released, leaving anyone that collected the Epix inserts from Pinnacle, Score and Zenith without the fourth set of 24 cards. A full set with inserts was discovered a few years ago, but since it wasn't available to the general public ("backdoored"), we can't put the checklists on here.

FWIW, here are the Kobe card and a Shareef Abdur-Rahim card from that set in the original post
