Kobe Bryant #8 signed. Just taking a glance at other signed balls on the site I see a Rondo ball going for $200, John Wooden ball for $600, a Larry Bird ball for $395...hell there's a ball signed by Barkley/Jordan/Bird/Magic going for $1,500. :eek: Some rich guy my mom started dating when I was 13 got it for me to buy my friendship but didn't know a damn thing about basketball. He had heard of some guy named "Kobe Bryant" on the news and knew I liked basketball so he got me this.

How much do you think I could get for it?

[Sarcastic]

Nothing.

Give it to me.

[AirGauge23]

I'd pay $500 for it.

[Rekindled]

you should hold on to it till kobe retires

[Posterize246]

I thought of waiting until he entered the HOF, but I think I need the money now more than I will then. Just seeing what the interest would be.

damn :banana:

[beermonsteroo]

I wouldn't be suprised if you can make 800 Dollars

[cotdt]

worth a lot, but don't sell it dude it's from KOBE

[Sarcastic]

These guys are all bullshitting you. It's worth nothing. Just give it to me.

[SCdac]

You can get a good amount of dough for that... I'd definitely wait to see if the Lakers win the championship (and Kobe another Finals MVP) before putting it up for bid though... Might be worth just that much more you know.

[StroShow4]

If you're going to sell it, wait to see if the Lakers win the finals. If they do, put that sh!t up on Ebay the day after they win.

[alwaysunny]

I'd definitely keep it until Kobe retires

by the way does the value decrease in any way the fact that the ball is a composite leather and not an official game ball?

[Amil23]

Ill give you 5 $ for it....my cousin is a fan

[griffmoney2084]

too bad the autograph in that picture is a fake

take a look at his real auto

http://kb24.com/

its on the front page, he doesnt connect his b's, they look more like L's

and his K has an upturned finish

[K.Koscik]

I have a ball signed by both Shaq and Kobe. How much will that be worth? I'm not trying to high jack your thread but im just wondering the value of it. It has documentation saying the signatures are legit

I know I've written/signed my name the exact same way every time for the past 10+ years. Every single time.

[Lebron23]

You should buy it.

[NBA4EVER]

Your moms boyfriend screwed you over

I guess. They broke up a couple months later and here I am 7 years later about to make some guap off of it. :pimp: He only had heard the name "Kobe" because it was during the rape trial.

[Collie]

Off topic, where do you get the certificate? I have a Kobe ball from when he went here and want to sell it.

did he say where he actually got it? Or did he just say he bought it

[Posterize246]

Nope. I never cared because I was never a Kobe fan. It's been sitting in the bottom of my closet for years.

[DwightHowardMVP]

More then a Michael Jordan autographed basketball.

[plowking]

Less than a Lebron James one.

yea this obviously means its real.... sorry bro there isnt one single characteristic that his real auto has that compares to this one

http://www.freewebs.com/jakeanator/kobeeee24.jpg

hes never signed his b's like one in the op's pic

[StacksOnDeck]

Lol @ selling that ball for 500....riight sell a ball from one of the greatest players in the game for cash. If you're not getting at least 2 grand, don't even consider it.

You're right. I'm gonna go play ball with it tomorrow instead.

[plowking]

Posterize, I'll trade you a Sasha Vujacic signed ball for it. And obviously about $300 cash my way.

Keep it. You can't be that desperate. Show it to the kids or grandkids.

What's worse...the offer or the fact you have a Vujacic signed ball? Hmmmm

[plowking]

Fine I was a bit hasty on the price. Only 200 my way.

and btw the auto's you posted are mostly real cept 1st basketball pic ( and possibly the one on the #24 jersey )

[griffmoney2084]

you know how easy it is to fake an autograph... i used to do it all the time and sell em to ray shepperds sports store in my mall back in the day

tons of kids probly have my autograph on their wall

[Eggy]

Just keep it.

[Posterize246]

Sports memorabilia doesn't mean anything to me. It'd be cool to take a pic with an athlete I liked but that's about it. I don't get what's so good about a signature...but I get what's good about $$$. :rockon:

[04mzwach]

150 bucks

I say go see a sixers game when u are there throw the auto ball at samuels head.

[Crystallas]

I wouldn't worry about anyones opinion here, if its fake or real. Just verify the CoA, thats where it's at. if the CoA is BS, then you have your answer. I have plenty of AGs with variations. When a mob crowds a player, they don't always sign the item the same, as if they were sitting at a table.

BTW.
First name + Number is worth less than full signature + number.
Early signature could be worth more, depending on CoA credibility.

For the guy who asked about getting the CoA....
You can go to a card/sports mem shop and see if they do verifications. Dont let the shop do the verification and give you a bum CoA, unless its a credible shop with a serial# system and hologram certificates. Let them send it out, and insure it through the shop. For a basketball, its about $23 for a legit CoA through Mail-In services. Cards are about $8 8x12s are $11, jerseys are 15ish, ect ect. If you have a photo of the player signing the ball, that helps prove the sig, and can be combined with the CoA to add value.

I used to do that to my friends all the time :roll:

I would find an image of lets say Lebron on the internet, with an autograph all ready on it. Then I would print it out and just take a sharpie and copy the signature thats all ready there

[postmupndunkit]

Kobe signed both of my balls.

Most players don't use the same autographs on memorabilia as their regular autographs. Also, putting your autographs on a surface like that of a basketball is a bit tricky.

[asdf1990]

nothing cuz kobe is the most overrated player in the history of the nba.

[emsteez forreal]

I know I've written/signed my name the exact same way every time for the past 10+ years. Every single time.

you can't go by that.. i stood 4 feet from dwyane wade as he signed my basketball, and when i looked online at other signed items, he had signed other balls differently.

All signed and unsigned balls should be used on the playground.
That get's you cred :bowdown:

That was his fake (no money) signature.

You should of asked him to spit on the ball , to get a DNA sample , proof of authenspitsity.:rockon:
