JAKARTA - An auction hall in New York successfully recorded the highest price for the category of sports goods.
The auction object turned out to be a jersey worn by Lionel Messi while defending Argentina in the 2022 World Cup finals.
Quoted by Reuters, on Friday, December 15, 2023, Sotheby's auction house said there were six T-shirts being auctioned.
All of them are clothes Lionel Messi wore when Argentina triumphed at the 2022 World Cup.
The auction price for the jersey set was sold at a price of 7.8 million US dollars or approximately Rp120.7 billion.
That number broke previous records for sales of goods linked to players, making it the most valuable sporting memorabilia auctioned off this year.
These historic jerseys are not just a real reminder of one of the most important moments in sports history.
"However, it is basically connected to the peak moments in football players' careers that have won the most awards in history," said Sotheby's Modern Collection Head Brahm Wachter.

Before Messi's jersey at the 2022 World Cup broke the auction price of Rp. 102 billion, there was a jersey belonging to basketball player Michael Jordan.
The jersey is a set used in the opening match of the 1998 NBA Finals. It had held a record high price for sports memorabilia items worn during matches. The figure reached 10.1 million US dollars (Rp 156 billion) last year.
