The Mets can always buy it back through auction.

Exactly. If the Mets are pissed they can always buy it back. Surely Mike can afford it too if he is that upset?

After Madoff, I wouldn't be too sure they can afford it...

With perhaps the best starting pitching in baseball, costing them about $7 Million this year, it may only be a matter of time before that staff goes their own way because of dollars.

Holy shit that jersey is at $141,000. Ken was at Sports Illustrated today live on the web and then on ESPN outside the lines talking about the jersey
Say what you want but if I'm selling a high-end item there is only one company in the world I want selling it and that's Goldin auctions.

I'm not taking sides. And I have said I'm not a BIG fan of Kin. But Ron you have to give credit where credit is due. This is a pretty big historical item and for him to land this consignment I give him props. Cannot argue with 130k

Lot #23 (2001 Mike Piazza Historic Post 9/11 Home Run Game Used Photo Matched Home Jersey)in our current auction -- the jersey worn by Mike Piazza when he hit a home run in the first sporting event played in New York after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 - has been getting a lot of attention from the national media and Piazza family due to its historical significance, and its emotional ties to the city of New York.
Since its inception, Goldin Auctions in its history has never removed any of the 20,000 items we have listed in an auction for private sale. However for this unique item we will make an exception. In all of the media interviews, Goldin Auctions has clearly communicated that it will, for the first time in our company’s history, pull this item for a private sale prior to the auction close if a buyer makes an offer that satisfies these important goals:
Offer a price that is satisfactory to our consigner based upon its potential at auction.
Agree to display the item for a mutually agreeable period of time at your choice of the following museums: a) The National 9/11 Memorial Museum; b)The National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY; or c) The Mets Museum at CitiField. This can be a rotating display. Please note we have been in contact with all three entities and they are all very interested in displaying the item.
As an alternative to the display criteria above, agree to donate the jersey to the 9/11 Memorial Museum and receive the charitable tax donation that will come with making the donation.

Please note that preference may be given to offers that involve at a minimum display at the 9/11 Memorial Museum.
To be fair to our customers that may be interested in bidding on this item in our live auction, and by internet and phone prior to the live event, we have established a deadline for the private sale of Friday April 15, 2016 at 6:00 pm ET. If a satisfactory offer meeting the criteria is not received by our deadline, Goldin Auctions and our consigner have agreed to let the auction process play out at our live event on April 30 at the NYY Steakhouse in New York City. If this is the case, although we hope a public display could be arranged, an item selling at auction will have no restrictions or requirements on the winning bidder.

Good for the consignor but I'm really surprised by all the attention this thing is getting. You'd think the jersey was worn by Babe Ruth. It's only Mike Piazza.
