memorabilia.
Keep in mind my descriptions and values are solely based on
opinion. As long as it is authentic, an autograph or piece of
memorabilia's value is whatever it is worth to you.
A Little
About Kurt's Autograph...
Kurt Rambis, in his career
has always been a class act when it comes to signing autographs
for fans. In my many years of following the Lakers, I have NEVER
seen Kurt turn down a request for a signature. He has always been
more than courteous and made sure everyone had an autograph. On
many occasions after the mobs cleared, Kurt's often said
"Anyone else?" He even took the time to make sure the
fan had something behind it,so he could scribble a nice auto. He
is always willing to take a photograph as well. However, now that
Kurt does not travel with the team as a Player, Assistant, or
Head Coach, his autograph is much harder to obtain for people
outside Los Angeles.
Someone
faking a Kurt Rambis autograph is truly a disgrace to the hobby
and to fans everywhere. But it has been done. I have seen a few
really horrible attempts at ripping off an honest collector. Kurt
has always been very generous through the mail as well.
(Recently, at the new El Seguendo addy I've had not luck). But
before that, More than likely you'd receive a action B/W 8x10 of
Kurt, Made out "To ----, All the best Kurt Rambis."
When identifying this type, it's critical to look at the word
"best." His "b" is always lower case. The top
three Rambis autos are authentic and received by me in person.
Version C was a very messy sig that he rushed. Even still, some
distinct characteristics remain.

KURT RAMBIS AUTOGRAPHED JERSEY You don't see many of these floating around to often. In fact finding one is very rare. The rarity of the Jersey ($145 alone) combined with the autograph, and the fact that Rambis is out of the public's eye makes the value of the jersey rise. Kurt hasn't done an autograph show as far as I know so a Kurt Rambis signed Jersey (auto'd in person or from a reputable dealer) would value at around...$150+ |

KURT RAMBIS AUTOGRAPHED 8x10 An autographed Rambis 8x10 used to be pretty hard to come by. Only because blank 8x10 were a tough find. Photo File produced a few during his return to LA but might not produce them anymore. A signed (not personalized) 8x10 photo is probably valued at $20.00...just due to it's rareness. A Personalization nearly squashes its value, but to a true Rambis fan...it's priceless. To purchase some great blank 8x10's go to ALL SPORTS PHOTOS.com |

KURT RAMBIS 1988 CRUSH CAN Crush put out a special Kurt Rambis tribute on their 1988 Lemon-Lime soda can. The tribute was due to Kurt's departure from the Lakers (drafted by the Hornets in the expansion draft). On the can is a special message from Kurt to the fans... "Thanks for being great fans. I'll miss you L.A. -Kurt Rambis" The value of this item is probably $7.00 (full or empty). If empty, it should be drained through a hole in the bottom (not open at lip). In good condition, This can is a centerpiece of conversation. |
