Not the scoreboards, I'm talking about Topps and UD and fleer and the main ones.

Does anybody know the first major company auto?

Good timing on this thread for me...

Does anyone have any photos of early Kobe autos? I found an 8x10 he signed in his rookie season in the attic this weekend but the sig looks a good bit different from current sigs. It basically says "KOBE 8" in pretty decent handwriting. I remember paying out the butt for this in the late 90s. I have the COA but it's not one of the major companies. Would like some info before having a JSA type company tackle it.

I have no idea what Kobe's first auto is from a major card company (concerning the original post), but here is a 1996 Kobe Press Pass RC Auto for referance:

Kobe changed his signature on cards, back to his full name a few years ago. Here is what Kobe's signature looked like for the 90's while in the league.
