An absolute tragedy for all nine and their families.
I will disagree with those that criticize the raising of prices for Kobe signed material. When Baines made the HOF prices for Baines rookies went up. When Michael Jackson died, $2 Thriller LP's sold for $100. If you are a business person and have a Kobe related item to sell, now is when you will get your best price. It isn't like raising the price on water during a hurricane or life saving medicine. It is a sports collectible. I don't blame sellers for raising prices at all. Now, if you sold an item for $175 on Saturday then cancelled the order to make more money, then that is a deceitful business practice. But, to raise the price to what the market allows seems like a sound business strategy to me, distasteful as the timing may appear.
