Goldin

The way Goldin has built this up... claiming it will hit 8 figures... there is no way we will be disappointed. It's going to be something incredible, but I have no idea what

Fact Check: Did Goldin claim it will go for 8 figures, or is that just something said in jest in this thread that has been perpetuated?

Not to discount it, but 2nd hand.

I'm more interested in what the Buyers Premium will be as opposed to the item itself. Goldin is going to get a nice chunk of change.

Nothing second hand about it. It is from Goldin himself from the forum thread you quoted earlier.

...we are not able to disclose the item yet, however it will be the first sports related collectible to have sold for 8 figures, no question.

Indeed.

Sports related could be anything...my first thought was a car. Maybe first Indy 500 or NASCAR winning car?

8 figures? If racing, would most likely be a vintage Ferrari or Porsche from one of the storied races of yesteryear.

If I was the kind of guy who had a spare $10M laying around, I can't think of any sports memorabilia item I'd want to spend it on. Unless it was something with great appreciation potential. Will be curious to see what it is, but sounds like it's going to be the sort of thing that hopefully gets displayed in a museum by the new owner.

A 250 Testa Rossa sold for 16 million in 2011.

So much for the "first sports related collectible to sell for 8 figures"

This is what I was thinking, except a building. Maybe a childhood home, museum, or old stadium/arena.
