In the auction, the guy on the right is the artist who made the original plaster cast for the Hesiman Trophy way back when. He's pictured with his original cast which was sold by 2005 Sotheby's sale. The pics are from this sale. The trophy cast was consigned by the artist's family and the 'found in attic/mystery how it got there' eBay story is bogus. You couldn't get any genuine Heisman Trophy for under $200,000. Bruce Smith's 1941 trophy recently sold for about $400,000. A broken off leg might sell for $9,600.
