I don't find the price at all surprising. Kobe's top pieces regularly sell for strong prices.

I understand and I'm sure you're not alone. I'm privy to private sale data regarding some of Kobe's top items, so the $100k+ realized price didn't surprise me. In addition, there are public data from other auction houses (e.g., when Ken auctioned off the items from Pam Bryant) that point to both the strong values Kobe's top items bring as well as the ascending direction of Kobe's market trajectory. The $100k+ realized price may raise a few eyebrows now, but the data suggest it was a smart investment.

It's only worth what it is worth to the buyer... I've spent hundreds on jerseys that my friends wouldn't spend $20 on...
