Hi all! My dad was an avid hornets fan… had season tickets starting at the old coliseum during their inaugural season. He recently passed but had some super cool stuff from over the years. I cannot for the life of me identify these signatures or this ball. Any help is appreciated! Happy to share some cool items he had from the inaugural season if anyone is interested!

  1. Could the number #2 be Larry Johnson? Totally a guess though. I’m over here googling numbers. Haha

    And so sorry for your loss.

  3. I locked on to #31 on the first slide because it’s only been worn a handful of times in our history. No one with a last name starting with O or Q. The only ones with rounded Last names would be Ron Grandison (1992) and Joe Chealey (19-20) and to me it doesn’t look like either of those so I think this may be unrelated to the bugs. Sorry for your loss hope you figure it out!

  5. ~~That #2 looks a lot like Stacey Augmon’s autograph. He played for the Hornets in ’02, so that would line up with Bryce Drew like u/a_moniker mentioned. However, the Hornets (nor the Bobcats) ever had the numbers 2, 31, and 44 on their roster simultaneously, so either it’s from an extended training camp roster, or it’s not solely Hornets'(/Bobcats’) autographs.~~

    Edit: I stand corrected. like u/QCWood said, it’s most likely the ’13 Bobcats.
    The #31(?) on the first picture is without a doubt (in my mind)Training Camp invitee Josh Owens’ autograph.

  6. My hunch was 2012-13 Bobcats. The third pic looks like Kemba, Gerald Henderson and Matt Carroll from too to bottom. I also thought #44 in the fifth pic was Jeffery Taylor, who has a fairly distinctive signature.
