Laguna Niguel, Calif. (July 17, 2024) – SCP Auctions’ 2024 Summer Premier is live, headlined by the warm-up jacket Kobe Bryant wore for his final career game and “Mamba Out” performance. The sale will conclude Saturday, August 3rd at www.SCPauctions.com.
Kobe wore the offered gold jacket at Staples Center against the Utah Jazz on April 13, 2016, for his famous 60-point “Mamba Out” finale. The jacket has been conclusively photomatched by Sports Investors to the game.
The auction will also offer one of the most important signed baseballs ever to come to auction in the form of a 1939 inaugural Hall of Fame baseball autographed by the original 11 inductees. All-time greats of the game like Babe Ruth, Cy Young, Honus Wagner, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, and more grace the ball in strong black ballpoint.
The auction contains some significant cards and sets as well. A 1984-85 Star Co. Michael Jordan true rookie graded PSA NM 7, a 1984-85 Star Co. complete set with five PSA graded including a PSA NM 7 Michael Jordan true rookie, a 1952 Topps Jackie Robinson graded PSA VG-EX 4, and a 1951 Bowman #305 Willie Mays rookie graded PSA VG-EX 4 are among the notable examples.
