About Kobe Bryant
There have been a lot of Kobe items on fractional sites, and we’ve written about him many times. Most recently, I wrote about a different pair of sneakers that Collectable IPO’d here.

Growth Potential and Future Catalysts
In my last Kobe write-up I mentioned the Lakers playoff performance could spur his items – but unfortunately, they did not make a deep run. There will be hype for “Kobe Day” on 8/24, but that won’t stretch far enough to affect the secondary market for this asset. I don’t see any reason these particular sneakers or Kobe items will pop separate from the overall memorabilia market.

Tiger Woods Signed Tournament Shirts
About the Asset
These are two separate Tiger Woods tournament-worn and signed shirts, both from 2004. One is from the Wachovia Championship, in which he finished tied for 3rd, and one is from the British Open (one of golf’s 4 majors), in which he finished tied for 9th. Both shirts have been photomatched and authenticated.

About Tiger Woods
Wyatt wrote about Tiger Woods at length here. But you know who he is – one of the greatest golfers ever and a global superstar at his peak. Though most of his newsworthy stories (with the exception of the 2019 Masters) in the past decade-plus have not been too flattering.

Growth Potential and Future Catalysts
If Tiger ever makes a miraculous comeback, it would certainly drive interest in his memorabilia, but in the short-medium term, his market is cold.
