The late Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay’s legendary memorabilia collection fetched over $93 million in a Christie’s auction, surpassing its $40 million estimate. The sale set 23 world records, including the $1.524 million hammer price for Secretariat’s 1973 Triple Crown saddle.
Wayne Gretzky’s Oilers jersey, worn during his 500th NHL goal, sold for $952,500. Jackie Robinson’s 1953 bat brought $406,400. A Pink Floyd guitar played by David Gilmour became the most expensive ever auctioned.
Proceeds will support causes championed by Irsay. Christie’s called the collection 'singular,' marking a cultural milestone.
