I am owning 2 original signed NBA Rookie Cards from 1996 of Kobe Bryant while he was on a Promo Tour with Adidas in Berlin, Germany in 1997. First one is a TOPPS Stadium Club #R12 from 1996. The other one is an Upper Deck Collector's Choice #267, both are signed personally from Kobe Bryant and both cards are still in a transparent box to secure them from scratches etc and are still in very good conditions. Video Clip from 1997 while he was in Berlin, Germany: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvJIIoZmzoEI can DM the Photos but quite frankly, I was wondering what their true value would be as of today. I also think It would be a great idea to let them reviewed from a professional card collector or someone that is authorized to certificate that both are real with Kobe's signature etc but I have no clue where and how to do it?! Any help would be highly appreciated and I hope someone can help me because I believe I am in a lucky situation owning these cards. Thanks!

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Because I just read all replies and moved this threat into collectibles since one member was recommending it. However, I would be more than happy to answer all doubts of one member and will be able to proof there is no scam-accusation.

I’m just curious why you’re asking for this info on a bitcoin forum. Why haven’t you posted about this on a card collecting forum? Also, why not do some simple google searching? Pretty easy to find out this info to be honest. Also kind of curious how someone posted a scam accusation in this thread here ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5377794.msg58766561#msg58766561 ) but you didn’t try and refute it at all, which would be easy to do. Also, why not share photos? You can easily do so using a forum image uploaded like this - https://imgbb.com/ . As others have said, get them graded. This will prove any doubters wrong as well as increase the safety and value of the cards.

This will prove any doubters wrong as well as increase the safety and value of the cards. You're right about that and your questions are legitimate to ask. I was starting to ask in a bitcoin forum because I thought I would find some people with experience here. And yes, I did some researches on the google platform but like I said before, I have no experience how to find the right people regarding the cards so any help would be appreciated. Regarding the scam accusation, I was quite frankly surprised that someone was posting that but I respect also his words. However, this guy did not read my sentences properly and If he would have made his own researches then he would know that Kobe Bryant had his official SEASON game on Dec. 26, 1996 @Phoenix. I know he was talking about his debut in terms of pre-season game but It was not an official season game though. Here is a photo: https://ibb.co/19Fg9SbI hope this helps.

Get it authenticated or split. You started a thread a couple months ago about the same thing, why make a new one. Too tired to find it. Autographed cards not authenticated is worth squat in my opinion. Anyone with a marker can sign a card.
Bottom right corner is soft af too. Get that thing authenticated AND graded and then you might find a serious buyer and get a better price range.

Would be helpful to see the back of the card as well as the other card you mentioned. Also before getting it graded I would highly recommend keeping it in a proper case/holder like this one- https://www.bcwsupplies.com/magnetic-card-holder-35-pt

My thoughts exactly. I was interested until I saw no cert. GLWS
