Kobe Bryant Game Ticket Stubs: A Collector's Market

The Mamba's Market

Since Kobe Bryant's tragic passing in January 2020, the market for his memorabilia has surged dramatically. Kobe game ticket stubs have seen particularly strong appreciation, driven by an enormous global fan base and the finite supply of physical mementos from his 20-year career.

The Most Valuable Kobe Stubs

Kobe's 81-point game against the Toronto Raptors on January 22, 2006, produces the most valuable Kobe stubs — the second-highest scoring performance in NBA history. His final game, where he scored 60 points in a storybook farewell on April 13, 2016, is another top-tier stub. His five NBA championship clinching games, particularly the early championships with Shaq, are all highly prized.

Kobe's NBA debut (November 3, 1996, at age 18) and his first All-Star Game appearance also produce stubs with strong collector interest.

Post-Passing Market Dynamics

The emotional impact of Kobe's death created a sustained increase in demand for his memorabilia. Unlike a typical posthumous spike that fades over time, Kobe's market has remained strong because his fan base spans multiple generations and continents. Stubs from his games are tangible connections to a player whose legacy continues to grow. StubHaul actively acquires Kobe Bryant game stubs at competitive prices.
