Kobe Bryant has filed a lawsuit seeking to prevent an auction house from auctioning personal memorabilia. According to Bryant’s representative who reached out to rolling out, he is requesting a TRO and injunction against Goldin Auction.
“This case concerns the illegal efforts of Goldin, a New Jersey auction house, to sell invaluable sports memorabilia owned by Kobe Bryant, including irreplaceable items from his past such as his high school basketball jerseys and state championship rings,” Kobe Bryant says in his complaint. “Mr. Bryant seeks to prevent the sale of his personal property by Goldin and to force the return of the personal property, which holds tremendous sentimental value to him.”
The auction house gave Pamela a $450,000 advance once they received the memorabilia which is likely worth millions.
Goldin Auction later countersued Kobe for the right to sell the items.
