Any Kobe Auto Experts, PLEASE HELP ME AUTHENTICATE!!!

[jeebus86]

I bought this Kobe UD Ovation Auto card off ebay not to long ago for about $3. The seller guaranteed that it was authentic and would pass any 3rd party authenticator or he’ll give me a refund. I would send it in to be professionally authenticated, but I just don’t have the money right now for a COA, and I’m just hoping if any of you guys could help me out by looking at the photos. Now I do have other Kobe autos that are authentic, and I have been doing some amateur comparisons, but I really don’t see anything that suggests that it might be a fake, and I’m really looking for another opinion. Here are the photos:

It was a 2002 UD Championship Drive hobby box that I purchased for 80 bucks from Georgetown Card Exchange in Hatboro,PA..It was #'d 08/25(Kobe's number) and had both autos as well as dual jersey swatches..It wasn't even a redemption...came out of the pack in a sealed hobby box. Sold it for 995.00 on the Bay...and I'm sorry to say,it looked NOTHING like the auto pic you have presented...Sorry to be the bearer of gloom and doom..it's not an authentic auto...Dan P

i think it looks real ive seen some kobe autos dont have any
compare them to the authentic ones
that you have have it authenticated if its fake you only wasted 3 dollars
could be worse
ya know

I would think that if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

The K looks a bit off, since I don't think I've seen Kobe do that for his K's.

yeah 3 bucks is too good to be true...

Yeah, i guess you guys are right, and i agree with you demonpower, the K does look a bit suspicious. Anyways, i thought it was worth the risk since it was only $3. Thanks for the replies.
