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.

And another..

I don't think this is authentic. It looks too slow and deliberate. Especially the # 8. the opening to the 8 looks way off and in the wrong place. The way the 8 starts and curls creating an open on the right side seems to be very atypical of any Kobe's I have seen. I also think the letter o looks slow and deliberate.

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.

I did see a Kobe card from upper deck with a score board cert.
What does that tell you?
