"I didn't see this post before, sorry. The B-series PSA/DNA serial numbers are for a 16,000 piece Kobe private signing PSA certified in baouts 2001. I don't recall if PSA witnessed it or not.
Dr. Loomis, I understand why this particular…"
"Thank you for all your help Dan! I appreciate the time you took out to look at this jersey and all the advice you provided. It is greatly appreciated! :)"
"Fantastic! I am glad to hear the signature is real as I said and my only concern was the sticker placement. Now PSA have confirmed it may have been slanted by accident you've got a genuine Kobe Jersey which is worth much more than you paid,…"
"Update:
1) From Beckett: "After our review, it is our opinion that the item is: Likely to Pass Full Authentication, BY BECKETT AUTHENTICATION SERVICES"
2) Message from PSA: "We do hand-sticker the items, so it is possible that the…"
"Game used sports memorabilia is my forte. I’ve handled multiple pieces of Kobe gear and know his signature well. IN MY OPINION this signature is no good."

"What would you suggest I do next to continue my search in verifying the jersey? Would any specific photos help? Anyone on this forum that would be able to specifically help with a Kobe jersey?
Thank you"
"These up close photos are very helpful. The signature is authentic IMO. but I still do not like the sticker. The 2nd of the new photos is the best photo of the sticker but the slant and placement looks sloppy for most I've seen. Saying all of…"
"Here are some better pictures of the sticker and the certificate. "
"The jersey appears to be a fan one you could purchase from most sports stores or the Lakers shop for $40-$50. If you have proof of the fake PAAS certs I would email the seller with your concerns on the PAAS and that you have concerns on this as well…"
"Hopefully others will chime in."
"I did email them and send in some photos. They said that they would be unable to verify anything over emailed photos and that I'd need to send it and pay to upgrade to a LoA as well. "
"The signature is close to one of his neat, sit down and take your time ones but something just seems off with this. I don't like the sticker either, looks like one that would peel off a can in the supermarket. I'd email PSA/ DNA or call…"
"From looking at the Kobe Bryant exemplars in the Sports section I don't think this looks right - see what others say."
