Re: Game Used Collecting Makes The Tabloids in Dispute over Kobe Bryant Items

My thoughts exactly. It is possible for this to negatively impact the sale of these items. On another hand this is also a lot more free publicity for the items as well...

I guess it is possible but I don't see how. Kobe collectors are gonna shell out HUGE cash for these items. Kenny's gotta be loving this free advertising! I truly hope it works out for you Ken. You're a class act and deserve it!

Peace!

In the immortal words of Don West from the Shop at Home Network "Ohhhhh man! Who's gottem folks??? You're never going to see these again..."

Man I used to love Don and Eddie!!! I remember hearing Ken call in a few times on that show. Classic!

Sorry to hijack the thread...back to the Kobe talk!

Peace!

This is an ugly situation. Kobe hasn't lived in the that house for over 15 years. He abandoned the property. It seems like the mother would have the right to sell the items with or without Kobe's permission.

I don't know about you guys, but if I was making over 100 million a year I'd be sure my parents didn't have a need to sell my childhood belongings.

That is so true, it just doesn't make sense. There must be more to the story that we don't know.

+1 Buy Mom a house and you're done. More to this story...

I don't think he "abandoned" the belongings at all and I'm sure if she said "hey I'm gonna auction this stuff off if you don't come and get it" he would have gone and got it.

I think he is going to win this.

Sad for Goldin but I think it's best to try get the 450k back and leave it at that

At the very least they should get a royalty off the marketing for naming him "Kobe"

I just hope Kobe doesn't pull an O.J. to get the stuff back.

Ken Goldin has been around the block and was CEO of a publicly held company. i do not think he would file a suit against a high profile athlete like Kobe Bryant unless he was highly confident he was going to win' The fact that Kobe Bryant was trying to stop the sale and now says he wants these items certainly not only locks in authenticity, but increases desireability and value on the items. When the auction eventually takes place i think it will be new record prices for Goldin Auctions. If Kobe wants them, he can have someone bid on them... and that might really drive prices. It is certainly all over the news, I find it very interesting.

P.S. I left a bunch of late 80s and early 90s baseball cards at my parents' house. She can certainly try to sell them... good luck mom.

If you went to visit your parents and asked where your trophies were only to find out she sold them wouldn't you think that they weren't hers to sell but yours?

If you leave your wallet at a restaurant does it become property of the restaurant? This isn't a case of finders-keepers this is his stuff. Unless he gave it to his mother (which she will have to prove) than its his stuff

You mean if you left your wallet at a restaurant for 5-15 years and chose not to go retrieve it? That would be a no brainer... this situation is a little different.

If that wallet had at least 1.5 million in it I would like to think I could still claim it
