Kobe Bryant unlikely to pass Beckett

Hi everyone!

Just want your opinions on this autograph I sent to Beckett for a signature review and it came back as unlikely to pass. Since they don't give any info on why it would not pass, just wanted to see what you guys had to say.

Thanks!

The K is all wrong and the signature is atypical in size and slant and looks bad compared to most I've seen

Tania,

Almost all genuine Kobe Bryant autographs are either licensed signings by Upper Deck and Panini or authenticated by PSA/DNA, JSA or Beckett. That's because they're dramatically easy to sell with those certifications and typically sell for at least 3-times what a genuine one without their certification sells for.

99.99% of your time it's a waste of money trying to find a genuine Kobe at bargain prices.

Are any of these under $800? That's about as low as a genuine Kobe signed photo comes.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the feedback! Both starting bids are under $800. I did receive an offer of $950 for this one. What do you think?

Please ask for a large sharp image, because this looks like it was intentionally saved as a fuzzy, degraded JPG. Perhaps to hide an added JSA sticker. But that aside, it's not an autograph I'm comfortable with.
