Overview
- A multiyear partnership announced July 30 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Goldin Auctions, an eBay company, makes Goldin the team’s official auction-house sponsor.
- The program will draw from the Lakers’ vault to offer authenticated items such as game-worn jerseys, game-used basketballs and game nets to collectors.
- Goldin will host multiple interactive eBay Live streaming events that present items in real time and let fans bid and shop during broadcasts.
- The Lakers have not disclosed which pieces will appear first, the date or format of the inaugural auctions, or the financial terms of the deal.
- Because items will carry team-held provenance and Goldin specializes in high-end collectibles, the partnership could raise market value for offered pieces and broaden global fan access to franchise history.
