Upper Deck to Release Autographed Kobe Player Exclusives

While player edition shoes are hard to find, securing ones signed by an athlete can prove to be a difficult if not impossible task, even for the most accomplished sneaker collector. Now sneakerheads can add such high-valued items to their collection while having the peace of mind that the signature is real through Upper Deck Authenticated’s patented and exclusive 5-step autograph authentication process. With this process, the shoes and its accompanying certificate of authenticity possess matching holograms, and the signed item is registered in Upper Deck’s online database.

Upper Deck acquired these shoes (Kobe’s size 14) directly from Kobe and the Lakers. Quantities are extremely limited and will be sold first-come, first-serve at a price of $1,499.99. Upper Deck is expected to expand its signed shoe program throughout 2007 including rare shoes from Jordan and LeBron.
