Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. Based on the photographs and description provided, this subject of this appraisal is a signed official Spalding NBA game basketball bearing the signature of Kobe Bryant in silver paint pen. This piece was produced for Panini and commemorates Bryant's 81-point scoring performance on January 22, 2006. The piece includes an official Panini hologram and a matching certificate of authenticity. The ball is numbered 11 of 81. Prior to Bryant's passing, his on-ball signatures, including those in this 81 piece set, were in the $600 to $700 price range in general. In the days since his passing, the demand for his memorabilia has increased greatly, and based on current market conditions, Fair Market Value (a pre-auction estimate of the piece) would be estimated between $2,500 and $4,500 USD. The comparables that inform this estimate are four similar Panini basketballs falling generally within that price range that ended in this week since Bryant's passing at Pristine Auction, excluding an outlier with a special inscription of "Mamba Out".
