Kobe Bryant is one of the most iconic athletes in sports history, and his death has brought out an intense desire for fans to own a piece of him. Consequently, there has been an uptick in Kobe memorabilia sold on eBay and other online resale sites.
A signed jersey of Kobe Bryant is a great option for collectors looking to add something special to their basketball memorabilia collection. A number of companies specialize in autographed jerseys, including Upper Deck, Fanatics, Leaf, Steiner, PSA/DNA, MAB Celebrity, AJ’s Sportsworld and Dave & Adam’s.
Depending on the athlete who signs it, autographed jerseys can be either licensed or custom. Licensed jerseys are more expensive but usually have more value than custom ones. In addition, they are easier to obtain and are generally more likely to be authenticated by a trusted company.
Another type of autographed jersey is screen printed. These are typically much cheaper than licensed jerseys and are a great option for collectors who want to save money but still want a signature from their favorite player. The downside is that they can be difficult to read and may not be as accurate as a licensed jersey.
If you are looking to purchase a Kobe Bryant autographed jersey, it is important to take the time to research the item. This will help you determine whether it is worth the price.
In addition, you should also ensure that the item is authenticated by a professional sports authenticator. These companies keep standards and practices in sports memorabilia trading and employ trained fraud professionals, including handwriting-analysis experts.

The former Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant won five NBA championships and became one of the best players in history. He was an 18-time All-Star and ranked third all-time in scoring. His tenacity, two-way skill and reputation for winning games at the end of the shot made him an unparalleled player. He was a two-time Finals MVP and scored 33,643 points during his career.
He was also known for his charity work. Throughout his two-decade career, Bryant supported the Boys & Girls Club of America, stocked food pantries and hosted basketball camps for children in need. He also served as the official spokesman for After-School All-Stars, an organization that provides after-school programs to 72,000 kids.
His fearlessness on the court and his innate ability to make the right decisions on off-court matters also made him an inspiration to many people around the world. He used his fame and global appeal to support charitable causes such as the Kobe Bryant China Fund, which raises money for educational, sports and cultural programs for Chinese and American children.
Even after his death in a helicopter crash in January 2020, Bryant’s “Mamba Mentality” continues to inspire. In 2018, he won an Academy Award for his animated short film, “Dear Basketball.”
While he may not have been as physically gifted as other basketball stars, Bryant’s dedication to his craft and fearlessness on the court helped him reach a level of success that few have achieved. The tenacity that fueled his game was bolstered by the killer instinct he developed from his earliest years.
