RUNNEMEDE, NJ – August 8, 2023 - Rare items from Lionel Messi, Joe Burrow, Robert Clemente, Wayne Gretzky, and more are up for auction at Goldin. The items are included in the Goldin 100, one of the most significant elite auctions in Goldin history showcasing the rarest and most valuable collectibles valued at $100,000 and above.
The auction features a historic Lionel Messi jersey from the first time he wore the number 10 for Barcelona at just 21 years old. Messi was playing against Hibernian at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh in his first game after switching numbers from 19 to the historic 10, the number that is traditionally passed down to the club's top player.
Messi had switched numbers after Ronaldinho had left the club for AC Milan. Messi, with the new number on his back, had a fantastic game scoring a gorgeous goal and assisting on one more, helping Barcelona beat Hibernian 6-0.
Another item up for auction is a game-worn jersey from quarterback Joe Burrow’s 2023 Wild Card game. Since being drafted in 2020, Joe Burrow has made a name for himself by elevating his game in the postseason. In his second NFL season, he took the Cincinnati Bengals all the way to the Super Bowl, dethroning Patrick Mahomes in the AFC Championship game.
In the 2023 season, Burrow’s postseason started with a Wild Card game against the Baltimore Ravens where he ran and threw for a touchdown as the Bengals defeated the Ravens 24-17.
In addition, a game-used Roberto Clemente bat from the 1971 World Series is up for auction. Clemente was Major League Baseball's first Latin American superstar enshrined in the Hall Of Fame. Every September, each team in Major League Baseball honors Roberto Clemente on Roberto Clemente Day, celebrating his impact on the field and off the field as a humanitarian.
The MLB also annually presents the Roberto Clemente Award to the player who best represents the game of baseball through sportsmanship, community involvement, and positive contributions, both on and off the field.
The auction includes 100 of the rarest and most desirable comic books, trading cards, and memorabilia from sports, film, pop culture, and more. Other items up for sale include:
