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. 

The sale also includes a historic 1911 Turkish Trophies advertising display featuring the Ty Cobb L1 Leather. Additionally, an extremely scarce 1909-11 S74 Tobacco Silks uncut sheet with 156 total silks will be among the featured lots. Another fantastic, framed piece being offered is Elvin Hayes’ personal NBA 50 Greatest Players multi-signed lithograph.

Other substantial player-worn memorabilia items are being presented. A Joe Burrow game worn, signed and inscribed jersey from his franchise-record 525 passing yards game on December 26, 2021 is up for grabs. A rare 1962 Pele signed and inscribed match worn jersey, a bat used by Mel Ott in 1946-47, a bat from Ted Williams used between 1951-55, and a 2010 Rafael Nadal shirt photomatched to his U.S. Open Final victory to complete the career grand slam are among the stellar game worn lots.

Some significant and valuable championship jewelry are included in the premium sale. Rick Barry’s NBA 50 Greatest Players ring, two 2015 Kansas City Royals rings, a 1986 New York Giants Super Bowl XXI ring, and a 1996 New York Yankees World Series Champions pendant round out the auction.
