Favre Collection, Rudy’s Uniform Among 2017 Super Bowl Auction Items

January 9, 2017 By Rich Mueller

Hunt Auctions and NFL Auction will once again join together to host the ninth-annual Super Bowl Live Auction on Feb. 4 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston.

Items from Brett Favre’s college and NFL careers will serve as the flagship collection for the auction with portions of proceeds benefiting multiple philanthropic endeavors. Fans at the NFL Experience will have the ability to view the collection along with nearly the 500 additional football pieces available.

“We are honored to continue our relationship with NFL Auction with our annual Super Bowl Live Auction event,” said David Hunt, President Hunt Auctions. “This year’s event promises to be an exceptional auction highlighted by an incredible grouping of items from the personal collection of Brett Favre. We applaud the charitable work that Favre 4 Hope and NFL Auction conduct and are humbled to be a small part of that process.”

The Favre 4 Hope Foundation will benefit from the sale of Favre Collection items.  The mission of the Foundation is dedicated to providing support and services to disadvantaged and disabled children in the Wisconsin and Mississippi communities. In 2005, the charity expanded its platform to include support for organizations providing Breast Cancer financial aid to patients.

Favre Collection Highlights:

MVP award Brett Favre1996 Brett Favre Jim Thorpe Most Valuable Player Award (Est. $100,000-$200,000)

Brett Favre autographed game worn Green Bay Packers cleats c.1996 (Est. $7,500-$10,000)

“The memories that I have during my football career, especially involving the fans of the Green Bay Packers, are priceless to me,” said Favre, whose foundation has raised over $7 million since its inception. “While my family and I are blessed to have many items from my career to keep and cherish I am very happy to share some of my memorabilia with the fans who have been so supportive all these many years.”

“Rudy” Ruettiger Notre Dame Game Worn Football Helmet and Jersey

Notre Dame Rudy Ruettinger helmetIncluded within the auction will be the original Notre Dame football helmet and jersey as worn by “Rudy” Ruettiger during the November 8, 1975 game that eventually made him a household name after his life story became a movie.

After scraping his way through an unconventional route to attend the University of Notre Dame in 1974, Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger battled as a walk on member of the Junior scout team. His efforts were rewarded by coach Dan Devine who offered 1975 Rudy Ruettiger game jerseyopportunity to dress for a single game during his senior season. Ruettiger entered the game for the final few plays, and on the last of the contest, sacked the opposing quarterback. He was carried off the field in celebration, which was the first such occurrence for a Notre Dame player.

Both the helmet and jersey are being offered for the first time publicly and are expected to achieve six figure pricing within the annual Super Bowl Live Auction event.

“Over 40 years ago, in 1975, I could never have imagined what that moment on that field in South Bend would mean to my life nor the lives of so many that I have been so fortunate to meet,” said Rudy Ruettiger. “The feeling I had that day on the field as well as the experiences and blessings it has brought to me and my family simply cannot be qualified.  I felt it time to share these two items with those that made all of this possible to me and in order to assist my grandchildren in the pursuit of their dreams as they begin their lives.”
