According to ESPN, an online auction on behalf of the Lakers Youth Foundation placed the signed No. 8 — four hardwood panels that measured four feet by eight feet each — up for bids with an anonymous winning bidder taking home the memorabilia.
The high price for Bryant souvenirs is nothing new. The Staples Center sold $1.2 million in Bryant merchandise during the farewell game. Even a towel Bryant wore during and after the game sold last week for $8,365.
