Kobe Bryant gu 99-00 NBA finals road jersey

[mr.miracle]

Just a couple of questions here. This jersey just posted on auction. There is currently another jersey same year, road jersey on ebay for a buy it now price of $12k. I am not a B-ball jersey expert or a Lakers jersey expert and have included info from both auctions. The Lakers played 3 road games in Indiana in 99-2000. How many of jersey's would Kobe or any player for that matter wear during 3 road game series? Does any expert have an opinion on this? Are these the two existing road jerseys from that series or were there more or less? Just kind of interesting, both jersey's have been graded as well. Any opinions would be helpful.

Thanks
Brett

Lakers/NBA Authentics Nike tage which features the special "Length +4" designation. On the inside lower left is the wash tag and under this is the year tag "1999-00." Across the front of the jersey is the team name and Bryant's name is featured across the back. The letters are made of gold and white tackle twill. On the upper left front is the "NBA" patch above this is a black armband commemorating the death of Wilt Chamberlin. On the upper right is the "NBA Finals" patch. Capping off this jersey is a handsome black Sharpie signature of Kobe across the front number "8" (10/10). Aside from light signs of game usage this jersey stands in overall impeccable condition.

I just noticed this when looking at the PSA/DNA sticker. Both jersey's have the identical number. They are the same jersey according to this. What is strange, is that I just asked the seller late last night if he still had this jersey available on ebay and he replied this morning that he does as it is still an active auction. However, this auction through Universal Rarities just went live late last night so how can the same item be on two auctions at the same time. If anybody has an explanation for that I would like to hear it.

Thanks
