Notes: Kobe Memorial Memorabilia; Baseball Exhibit in Denver; Puck Auction; Green Jacket Name Change

Those in attendance at Monday’s Celebration of Life for Kobe and Gianna Bryant received memorabilia that included a T-shirt, keepsake ticket, pin and a program featuring images from throughout their lives.  Those items have become a hot commodity on eBay with several listings seeing bids well into the hundreds of dollars.

Update 2/26:  eBay appears to have begun removing items associated with the Bryant memorial because they violate the company’s policy of not allowing items that “attempt to profit from human tragedy or suffering.”

Bryant memorabilia is a big part of the jaw-dropping collection of Lakers memorabilia owned by SCP Auctions President David Kohler.  Long-time sports anchor Jim Hill of KCBS stopped by to tape a segment that aired on a recent newscast.

There’s a new baseball exhibit at History Colorado in Denver.  That’s the same place that housed pieces of the Marshall Fogel baseball collection a couple of years ago including his PSA 10 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle. 

“Game Changers” is the name of the new exhibit.  It includes game bats from Hank Aaron and Jackie Robinson, baseball cards and original photographs.  It’s focused on the role Denver played in baseball integration.

Goal pucks from Connor McDavid, Alex Ovechin (from his 594th career goal scored two years ago) and Auston Matthews are also among the 26 pucks up for grabs through March 11.

Green Jacket Auctions has changed its name to Golden Age Golf Auctions.  The company has been in business for 14 years, offering a variety of vintage and modern era golf memorabilia.
