It's definitely a fake. Is the seller in the Phillipines?
I bought one about a year ago, sent it to JSA and it was deemed fake.
The Skybox stamp was probably purchased by this person when Fleer went Bankrupt.
This is the card

RE: kobe bryant rookie auto fake?
There was a seller in Taiwan a few years back that would do this to all the autograph cards he could fake back then. I dont thing that it is a stamp, I think somehow they transfer (press) the embossing of a legit one through a fake one.
I say this because the guy had fake Proline, Fleer, Skybox and Star Pics autographs.
Usually the stamping looked a lil more faint.
If you know what to look for you defiantly can tell the difference. I fell victim of this with a 92-93 Skybox Patrick Ewing autograph 5 years ago, once I received it and it was clear I wasnt getting a refund I just ripped it up ($75 gone).
But yea.....this one is fake too. Sorry.
