Allen Iverson’s rookie card is in the 1996 Topps Chrome set alongside fellow Hall of Famers Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Ray Allen. I purchased a raw card on eBay and sent it into a paid signing along with a blue paint pen. I paid for his Hall of Fame inscription and unfortunately during the signing he decided to deny requests and I received a refund. Overall, the card turned out great but it would have been even better with an inscription.
Currently there are only 18 autographed 1996 Topps Chrome Allen Iverson rookie cards in the PSA registry.
