Days after a Babe Ruth jersey sold for $24.12 million, breaking the record for a piece of sports memorabilia, officials at Julien’s are trying to cast the “Chosen One” jersey as a piece that could one day be in the same category.
“This storied jersey represents the pivotal moment of LeBron’s ascension to basketball royalty,” David Goodman, CEO of Julien’s Auction, said in a statement.
The auction — both live and online — is set to be held at 10 p.m. ET on Sept. 27. It includes a selection of limited-edition photo prints of James from his Sports Illustrated photo shoot.
