Sotheby's Legends of Sport is a premier series of auctions dedicated to celebrating the rich history and cultural significance of sports through exceptional artifacts. Held annually in New York, this event brings together over 50 coveted collectibles spanning various sports, including basketball, baseball, football, tennis, and hockey.
A highlight of this year’s activation is the offering of two truly historic artifacts: Wayne Gretzky’s New York Rangers jersey, worn during his final career game in the 1998–1999 season marking his last career point and Kobe Bryant’s game worn Los Angeles Lakers jersey from the opening game of the 2006–2007 season, when he debuted his now-iconic No. 24. Both jerseys stand as testaments to the legacy of two players whose influence transcends the game itself.
For those interested in exploring these extraordinary offerings, Sotheby’s invites collectors and enthusiasts to browse the full selection of available memorabilia through the below online catalogs. Whether you are a seasoned collector or new to the world of sports artifacts, Sotheby’s provides an unparalleled opportunity to engage with some of the most significant pieces in sports history.
