Auction house Julian announced that memorabilia and personal holdings of the legend of the Los Angeles Lakers and American basketball Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash last January, reaped 20,290 dollars (185,000 euros), more than eight times the estimate.
It was Bryant's handprints on a concrete plate that served as a test before it was immortalized in 2011 in the courtyard of the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, which brought in more than $ 75,000.
At that time, the NBA champion became five times the first athlete to "appear" alongside movie, music and TV stars on the famous Hollywood Boulevard.
The value of this piece was estimated between four thousand and six thousand dollars, while the value of the entire souvenirs was 24 thousand dollars.
Bryant's full-fledged suit in the NBA's final rounds of the 1999-2000 season with the association's official emblem embroidered under a black ribbon in honor of Wilt Chamberlain, the former Los Angeles Lakers' superstar, was sold at 43,750 dollars, more than four times its estimated value.
His sneaker from Adidas was sold to him for $ 25,600, which is certainly much lower than the record ($ 560,000) with which he sold sneakers to the legend of Chicago Bulls and American basket Michael Jordan "Air Jordan 1" last Sunday.
The sale of Bryant's souvenirs, who died on January 26 in a helicopter crash that also killed his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others, was the second organized this week.
He sold one of his rings to crown the league, which he gifted to his mother, for $ 193,000 at an auction for Goldin in New Jersey. The Bryant Card was sold to the Best Rising Player (first season in the NBA) for $ 110,400.
And another card for the best rising player, signed by baseball player Michael Trout, the best player three times, witnessed a huge turnout, and was sold for astronomical sum of 922 thousand and 500 dollars. This Los Angeles Angels star photo card dates back to 2009 and is available in only five copies.
