Question about a Kobe Bryant Autograph

[jaymanfu]

Hey Everyone I was just curious if anyone could help or have any info on this item. My Father won this item in 1996 at a card shop raffle and has held onto this whole time. We were looking it up and I couldn't seem to find another Signature that was very Similar to this one and I think the company that authenticated it isn't really around anymore. What do you think, is this real or a fake? Thanks for any info!

It doesn’t look like his usual autograph, plus that COA is suspect. I’d say no, but I ain’t no Steve Grad.

Kobe never signed his name like that AFAIK.

I agree - suspicious looking auto and COA of defunct company is worthless. Sorry to say.

It looks so fake its probably real, particularly if your timeline is correct. Forgers put a little more work into stuff.

I’ve gotten Kobe IP and one time he did initials but can’t recall what they looked like from memory

No idea if fake or real, but pretty certain this wouldn't pass any of the major authenticators, and no one would buy this for the auto.

It's a nice 8x10 however and could sell decently on it's own.

Not even close
