Kobe Game Used and Goldin Auctions

[drc]

Two celebrities my dad can't stand are Tom Cruise and Kobe Bryant. Tom Cruise comes first.

Tom Cruise is an alien.
It's the only feasible explanation.

Doesn't sound like Kobe to abandon $1 million plus of property.

Understandable.
Buy your mom a house Kobe.

You wonder what due diligence Goldin did to assure itself Pamela had the right to dispose of the property before advancing half a million bucks.

Last time he did a public signing around here, he was charging $800 each for his favorite charity. Himself. Baseball Card Dugout Buena Park, Ca. Kobe bought his abused wife 3 houses to make up for what he did to her. Seems he can afford another for his Mom. What a loser.

But it goes back to, who decides the prices at autograph shows. I always thought the promoters decide the price they charge based on how much it cost to get the person to come in and do the signing.

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.

Sounds like Kenny Goldin entered into an agreement with the wrong person. Seems unlikely that Kobe, who knows the value of his name, would have told his mom that he had no interest in those items but I suspect anything is possible. Sounds like Lot 1 for the June auction could be the house in Nevada. It was only a matter of time before Kenny got himself into a conflict.

[HRBAKER]

You know I was thinking the same thing. If all I had was one person's word that someone else no longer wanted or laid any claim to items with a value in excess of 1 million dollars - I'd have serious reservations. Even if it was a direct family member. Surely there is more to the story.

From the Complaint, it looks like all oral assurances from Pamela. Kobe allegedly gave them to her, saying, Here Mom, these are for you.

I'm sure Kobe didn't give a flip about his practice shorts until he found out his mom was selling them and he wasn't in on the cut.

I am a little confused about this statement.
