A game-worn Kobe Bryant jersey was recently sold at an auction for close to $3 million.
The basketball legend wore the jersey during the 1996-1997 NBA season and for at least two games during the 1997 playoffs.
The jersey was auctioned off through SCP auctions. According to David Kohler of SCP Auctions, the jersey had been estimated to sell between $3 million and $5 million before going up for auction. And after 26 bids, an anonymous buyer purchased the jersey for $2,735,546 million, to be exact.
This is not the only one of Bryant’s jerseys to sell for millions of dollars. Last year, another one of Bryant’s rookie jerseys sold for millions. The jersey was another yellow, game-worn jersey but was autographed by Bryant. The $3.69 million price tag made it the most a basketball jersey has ever sold for.
SCP also sold a rare, signed 1997 Precious Metal Gems Kobe card, which sold for over $403,000.
