Meanwhile, Jokic’s jersey from Game 1 of the Finals sold for over $134,000 Wednesday night at NBA Auctions.
The jersey was also worn during Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals and Games 1 and 3 of the Western Conference Finals
Other jerseys worn by the NBA champs and the runner up Miami Heat were also sold.
Jerseys from Game 3 of the Finals are now on the block including the one Jokic wore when he became the first player to ever record 30 plus-points, 20 plus-rebounds and 10 plus-assists in a Finals game. Bidding for that one runs through June 29.
A 1958 double-signed Sandy Koufax glove, purported to be the first mitt utilized by the Hall of Fame pitcher in Los Angeles, fetched a record $180,000 Wednesday night in The Memorabilia Network’s “Greats of the Game” auction. The amount represents the highest ever paid at auction for a Koufax glove.
Also setting a new mark was a 1955 Koufax signed and inscribed major league debut ticket that sold for $45,000, the most ever paid for a stub from the left-hander’s first game with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Additionally, the June 24, 1955, stub marks the highest PSA-graded ticket from Koufax’s debut, and the only one both graded and autographed. During the historic game against the Milwaukee Braves, the Brooklyn-born rookie commenced one of baseball’s greatest careers by tossing two scoreless innings out of the bullpen, recording his first of 2,936 career strikeouts, and facing future home run king Hank Aaron for the initial time.
