Kobe Bryant’s legendary career is being commemorated by auctioning off some amazing items, including a Draft Day ticket and gold-painted handprints.
These rare pieces are a part of Goldin’s “Iconic Collection Honoring Life & Career of Kobe Bryant.”
The ticket from the Continental Airlines Arena, dated 6/26/96, features the customized NBA Draft in New Jersey logo and marks the very beginning of Bryant’s Hall of Fame career.
The 1996 draft is considered one of the most talented in NBA history, including other greats like Allen Iverson, Stephon Marbury, Ray Allen, and Steve Nash.
One of the standout items is a set of 33×25-inch framed clay handprints that Bryant made during a 2017 tour of Paris. These handprints were covered in gold paint as part of a project for French artist Sacha Schwarz.
The auction will also feature other great pieces such as game-used jerseys and unique trading cards.
It is live until March 2, and these unique and rare pieces of Kobe Bryant memorabilia are all expected to be sold for thousands, with the gold-plated hands estimated to go for $20k.
