Overview
- The price set a record for any Seaver collectible and ranks as the third-highest paid for a sports championship ring, according to ESPN.
- Seaver’s family consigned 188 items from his collection to the event run by Dallas-based Heritage Auctions.
- Other Seaver pieces sold included his 1973 National League championship ring for $201,300 and a replica of his 1992 Hall of Fame plaque for $170,800.
- The sale’s top lot was a 1909 Honus Wagner card once owned by Joe Garagiola that realized $3.59 million, helping push total receipts beyond $38.6 million.
