The auction will be held on July 30 and 31, although the process is currently in a proxy bid stage during which Heritage accepts phone, internet, and mail offers. With the price now at $26,000 it would not be shocking to see the item go for at least $30,000.
Sometimes I wonder, if I were ridiculously rich and had money to burn, whether I'd bid on memorabilia like this. I'd probably prefer something more practical to store like a game worn jersey, game ball, or some other collectible. Then again, if I were so rich that I had my own basketball court...well, it would be pretty cool to have.
