[QUOTE=REGGIE206;15568418]Me too! Now I want one.. but don’t have a clue where to look (other than eBay) to find one.. :doh:[/QUOTE]

I was able to buy it on Paninis site the morning of the crash. Retailed for $899 to give you an idea compared to Ebay listings.

Thanks, Steve!! Unfortunately, it’s no longer available on Panini’s website. None on eBay too.. so I decided to just buy a 2000 Upper Deck Kobe Bryant Auto card on COMC for $379 :)! I can’t wait to get it!

It looks like this:

Not Kobe items, but found a link or two of Kobe autograph signing with companies. The one below is recorded when he was with Upper Deck. Quite funny.

Now this one is with Panini: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5veWJAWyIA[/url]

I’ve always been a big Kobe fan/collector and had to grab some cards before they’re stashed away forever. Picked these up after he sadly passed. RIP mamba.

One for each decade of greatness. (Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics)

You will be missed dearly.

Many like his Upper Deck and/or Panini autograph cards/items. Is there anyone here that also like his Topps autograph cards?

These and the Bowman ones are underrated. His first on-card NBA autos should be worth more.

You don't see the Starks Co-Signers very often (or the Malone). That's a nice pickup. I only have the Joe Smith one, which is the most common.

I also have the Kobe/Joe Smith Co-Signers, as well as the regular version of the Bowman autograph card. Need to get pictures soon. :)

You might want to check with Roger Maris. I believe this card has been heavily counterfeited.

Sweet Kobe collection but the ovation kobe auto one looks fake unfortunately

Anyone know what the odds of these being pulled were?

Beautiful cards. With prices leveling out a bit, I will go back to my search for one nice auto of him.

There are some absolutely incredible cards in this thread. jygelly008, I love all three of yours. Especially that tag.

So is $30k the new going rate for a 09-10 National Treasures “Blk Mamba” nicknames auto? I realize it’s probably not a legit sale, but it makes me appreciate my 12-13 version even more now.

Man, that Flawless tag is excellent.

Thank you for the heads up. I will be returning the card to COMC.

I’m am grateful for the BO family

Ehh, it was a PSA 10/10. There's only three PSA 10s overall. A raw Exquisite would probably go for that much or more.

Man, I was watching that auction and have been watching all his Notable Nicknames that pop up. The prices have been good, but 30k blew the other ones away. I own a BGS 9.5/9 copy.

A moving memorial going on right now at Staples Center with an emotional Michael Jordan speaking now...

When the other guys complained to Shaq that Kobe wasn't passing the ball to them, O'Neal told Kobe, "there's no I in team", to which Kobe replied, "Yeah, but there's an M-E" in that mother------".

After that, Shaq went back and told them, just get the rebounds, he ain't passin'...

that was a great line

Just showed Kobe's Oscar winning short film, "Dear Basketball" to let the man conclude the memorial with his own words. Not a dry eye in the house...
