Not in my opinion.

It resembles Kobe's autograph but it misses his characteristics by a mile IMO. Genuine Kobe Bryant signed 8x10s start in the $1,000 range unless the seller doesn't do any research and doesn't have a clue. That happens every now and then but those are snapped up immediately.

Matt, spend time studying autographs before you spend money on them and you'll have a blast collecting and make very few mistakes.

This is also not authentic IMO. It is stop start and just looks off

This doesn’t look real. I mean the part after the Capital K literally starts above the entire letter. I haven’t seen that on real ones.

this is a verified authentic one by PSA. Do they not look similar?

This one has a flow to it that is missing in the first one. In my opinion. The Kobe I have is from his rookie year so I can’t post it in comparison because the signature changed.

It's roughly similar but that doesn't cut it in autographs. BTW, I'm not convinced the PSA one is real either. Kobe was left handed and the downstroke of his K is usually slightly concave to the left.

I guess it won’t hurt to get it looked at. Who do you recommend ?

You can get a $10 Signature Review from Beckett and I think $15 for a Quick Opinion from PSA. They are both reputable companies but I prefer BAS these days. That's where 2 former PSA top authenticators work.
