Goldin’s Fall Game-Used Memorabilia Auction Spotlights Baseball Legends

Goldin’s Fall Game-Used Memorabilia Auction brings together game-used and game-worn collectibles tied to some of the most recognizable names in sports history, with baseball items from Barry Bonds, Jackie Robinson, Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays among the headliners.

The auction runs through Nov. 7 and includes memorabilia connected to milestone moments, iconic seasons and Hall of Fame careers across several sports.

Barry Bonds Home Run Ball Leads the Baseball Highlights

One of the most notable baseball pieces in the auction is the ball Barry Bonds hit for his 715th career home run. The blast moved him past Babe Ruth and into second place on the all-time home run list behind Hank Aaron.

The Bonds baseball stands out as a direct link to one of the defining achievements of his career and one of the most discussed milestones in modern baseball history.

Jackie Robinson Bat From 1953 Season

Also featured is a 1953 Jackie Robinson game-used Louisville Slugger Hillerich & Bradsby O16 professional model bat. According to the auction listing, Robinson used the bat throughout the 1953 season, six years after he broke baseball’s color barrier.

Robinson memorabilia remains among the most significant in the hobby, and game-used equipment from his playing career is consistently among the most sought-after material in major auctions.

Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays Jerseys Add to the Baseball Lineup

The auction also includes a 1960 game-worn, signed and transcribed New York Yankees road jersey worn by Mickey Mantle. Mantle finished second in American League MVP voting that season after hitting 40 home runs.

Willie Mays is represented by a 1971 game-worn, twice-signed San Francisco Giants jersey. Goldin notes that Mays wore the jersey during his final full season with the Giants before being traded to the Mets, where he retired in 1973.

With Bonds, Robinson, Mantle and Mays all featured in the same sale, the auction offers a concentrated group of baseball memorabilia tied to some of the sport’s most important names and eras.

Basketball Memorabilia Includes LeBron James, Jason Kidd and Kyrie Irving

The auction extends beyond baseball with several basketball highlights. Among them is a 2012-13 LeBron James game-used Miami Heat Noche Latina jersey.

Also listed is a 2011 NBA Finals Game 3 Dallas Mavericks home jersey worn by Jason Kidd, along with Kyrie Irving’s game-worn Cleveland Cavaliers home jersey from Game 4 of the 2016 NBA Finals.

Those pieces connect to major postseason moments and championship runs, adding another layer of high-profile game-used material to the sale.

Auto Racing, Hockey and Soccer Memorabilia Are Also Featured

Auto racing collectors will find a 2000 race-worn firesuit worn by seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton during a pre-rookie Karting World Championship race in Braga, Portugal.

Hockey memorabilia includes a 1993-94 game-worn Pittsburgh Penguins home jersey worn by Mario Lemieux. Goldin says Lemieux wore the jersey during a game in which he scored four goals and added four assists.

Soccer items in the auction include game-worn jerseys from Erling Haaland, dated 2022 with Manchester City, and Cristiano Ronaldo, dated 2017 with Real Madrid.

Game-Used Football Items Round Out the Sale

The auction also features gridiron memorabilia, including a 2003 signed USC Trojans jersey from Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush and a 2002 Junior Seau game-used San Diego Chargers away jersey worn during his final game with the team.
