A collection of Kobe Bryant memorabilia that was found in a storage locker in August is now back with the late Los Angeles Lakers star's family.

The items, which included 35 pairs of sneakers, Lakers practice gear, and tax paperwork, was purchased for a total of $375 and then flipped to "Storage Wars" star Rene Nezhoda for $13,000. Nezhoda planned to sell the items through an auction house, but instead worked out a deal to have them returned to Bryant's wife, Vanessa, according to TMZ Sports.

"Everything has been worked out," Nezhoda said. "A number of personal items, worn items, and paperwork were sold directly back to the Bryant family."

Nezhoda still plans to sell some of the items that weren't worn by Bryant.
