Wonder what the reserve was? Damn!

10 would seem possible but who knows.

I bet $10Mil was the reserve and it was close! It was more like an item to make publicity of the auction house. Pretty sure the consignor consigned a few other Robinson items in this auction, if Goldin told him he couldn't set such high reserve he would probably go to Heritage or somewhere else. In fact, there are always a few items on Goldin has high reserves and didn't sold everytime.

This reminds me of the Cobb rare backs auction. Not all cards were priced to sell but some were. But at least Heritage would post the reserve at the end.

I don't possess the chops to describe the high bid or the expectations of
this consignor...wow.

I'd love to know how much it cost to produce the jersey originally, then to
figure the markup on it's value per this auction (ie, the jersey drew a ___-
percent increase in value over it's original cost).

Maybe its owned by a conglomerate of people.

I mean 8.5 million, even allowing 3M for taxes, has to be a life changing score for 99.99% of the population.

Things not selling is bad publicity for an AH
