I don't really like Kobe, but have grown to respect his incredible toughness and focus and feel that the guy can charge whatever the hell he wants for an autograph. It seems only way to make sigs worth anything is to sign fewer for more money... as opposed to greats like Bob Feller, who's signed baseballs go for little more than the price of the ball.
As I understand his mom already has a house, I think maybe even multiple houses and I'm sure Kobe helped out with those, and just about anything else she has. What she's doing is crap. If I were him, I'd never get rid of my high school gear?!?! That's probably a lot more special to him than most of his hundreds/thousands of game used NBA jersey's, shorts, etc.
TO ADD: was he ever accused of beating/abusing his wife? I don't remember that. The Eagle Colorado thing was very fishy, but seemed very fishy from both sides.
