New Delhi: Former US President Barack Obama’s jersey worn during a basketball match at school has been auctioned. This is the largest bid ever for a high-school jersey sold at auction. This very special white jersey is numbered 23. This jersey is sold at auction for US $ 192,000.
Actually, Barack Obama wore this jersey in 1979. He was in high school at that time. He wore it during a basketball match at Punahou School in Hawaii. This was the largest bid ever for an auction jersey and sold for $ 192,000. It broke the old records of LeBron James’ jersey. The former president wore this jersey as a team player in a championship match against Punahou School of Hawaii State in 1979, a record price for any high school jersey.
The jerseys were auctioned on Friday. The bid also included jerseys worn by Michael Jordan, former US President Barack Obama and former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, but bidders showed special enthusiasm for Obama’s jersey. This is the record price for any high school jersey.
