Kobe Bryant Auto Opinion

[scmavl]

I have relied on Christopher Williams' expertise more times than I can count. What an asset to the hobby.

In absolute agreement that there are true gentleman on these boards whose opinions are so very valuable to those of us that are still learning, David Atkatz, Christopher Williams , Mr.Zipper to name but a few, but there are many..many...more! Thank you all.

Valued opinions are welcome on the Kobe auto.
Thank you.

I don't like it, it looks too neat and the "8" to the right of the name reminds me alot of those fake scoreboards. I believe I have seen at least one authenticated example with the 8 not under the name, but a big majority of the authentics the 8 should be under.

you can try to do a quick opinion with psa or beckett but imo they are also playing darts in a dark room when it comes to kobe.

here are mine which i believe to be authentic and a couple other kobe opinionaters that i respect agree:

Thank you foryour opinion, it is very much appreciated.
There are some Kobe autos where the 8 is along side the name as well, some that are also PSA authenticated and /or UD issued cards.
But i do see point.

The photo is a little small, but this looks like one of the counterfeit ones. Silver lines on the right are longer than the ones on the left. The 'r' in signature would be inside the silver oval if it was closed, and not bisected by the line. The v in ovation should be to the left. Also, the basketball is cut off on the left.

Here is one with a PSA cert.

This particular Kobe card has been heavily counterfeited and distributed into the market. It probably isn’t real.

Adam is correct.

That is one of the forged/counterfeit versions.
