Kobe Bryant is one of the NBA's most respected legends, and his career has created too many legends, but unfortunately he has bid us farewell. Now, according to US media reports, due to Kobe's legendary status, a jersey he wore in his rookie season will be auctioned at auction, and it is expected to sell for between $3 million and $5 million, thus refreshing the record of $3.69 million created by Kobe Bryant's jersey at auction last year, and is believed to set a record for the highest price of NBA jerseys at auction.
A jersey Kobe Bryant wore during his rookie season, which he played four games, including two regular season games and two playoff games, will be auctioned at auction.
According to SCPAuctions' David Kohler, Bryant's match shirts for the 1996-97 season will be auctioned online on May 18 and could fetch $3 million to $5 million. "We think this could set a record for any basketball jersey auction," said Kohler, whose seller, who spoke on condition of anonymity, has owned the jersey for 25 years.
After seeing another rookie jersey from Kobe Bryant, after being auctioned for $3.69 million last year, he found the seller Kohler, hoping that the yellow jersey signed by Kobe Bryant could be auctioned off at the highest price of a basketball jersey.
The upcoming auction will showcase Bryant's No. 8 jersey for the Los Angeles Lakers during his regular season game against Sir Utah on April 13, 1997, and against the Sacramento Kings on April 17, 1997. In the Western Conference semifinals against the Jazz of Jude on May 8 and May 10, Bryant wore the same jersey at home. The Lakers won the first game, Bryant scored 19 points, they lost another game where Kobe Scored 9, and the Lakers ended Bryant's rookie season with a 1-4 exit.
Kohler said the veracity of the jersey has been verified by independent appraisers who matched it with photos. The process involves examining the unique characteristics of the project. How this jersey will actually perform at auction remains to be seen. There is no doubt that Kobe Bryant's items are expensive in general, a basketball card for him and James, which previously sold for $312,000.
There is no doubt that this Kobe shirt is a precious artifact, and even if the economic benefits are very obvious, the decision of the seller to choose the auction is difficult.
