Kobe-Signed Bala Cynwyd Middle School Yearbook Up For Auction

BALA CYNWYD, PA — A Bala Cynwyd Middle School yearbook signed by the late basketball star Kobe Bryant is up for auction.

Iconic Auctions posted the 1992 yearbook on its website recently.

The yearbook features a message penned by Bryant to the owner, and the message is a bit prophetic.

"In a few years you probably will be dunking on me. Not!! How bout those Lakers. Your friend Kobe Bryant #24," the message reads.

Bryant, of course, spent his entire NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers.

As of 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, six people have bid on the item, which so far has $4,875 in bids.

The auction closes this weekend.

The yearbook also comes with a letter from the student who owned the yearbook and Letters of Authenticity from authenticators Beckett Authentication Services (BAS) and PSA/DNA.

After attending Bala Cynwyd Middle School, Bryant went on to lead the Lower Merion High School Aces to its first-ever state championship.

You can see the yearbook's listing and photos from inside it here.

Bryant died at the age of 41 in a helicopter crash that also took the life of his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others on Sunday, Jan. 26 in Malibu, California.
