Jackie's first uniform would be great, 8 figures or not. Any key Jesse Owens items from 1936 Olympics in a private collection? Something like "complete set of gold medal USA relay team jerseys" could do it.

If it's not the Cy Young items already posted, a jersey collection of the 1919 Black Sox team?

Based on the email, it's a singular piece, as the terms "Collectible" & "Item" were used.

It also says sports related so it's actual relationship to sports could be looser than we're thinking.

Also think that if it was baseball related they would have said that up front.

Where is everyone getting this 8 figures idea from? Didn't see any numerical value in the email... Would be awesome if it was the Jackie Robinson debut jersey. Whatever it is I doubt we will be disappointed

I know I mentioned earlier my guess/feeling that it would most likely be Jackie Robinson's Dodgers debut jersey, but.......

Does anyone know if Babe Ruth's rookie Red Sox jersey is known to exist?

Also, if it does exist, could it be positively identified/authenticated at this point?

I would be pissed if that's all it is. I'm thinking some new great item is hitting the market. Something noone even knew existed. What a kick in the crotch the f&$&ing Bronco would be.

I am hearing it's not the Bronco (thank goodness) but that it is a very significant item of historical importance.

It's tough for me to imagine a sports related items that could garner that much money. Jackie Robinson's first Dodgers Jersey is about the only item I could see getting that much.

A true entrepreneur would buy it for 1 million and then break it down into components. For example OJ's Ford Bronco muffler, the radiator, the passenger side rear view mirror, etc. By this method one could potentially net that magic 10 million amount.

Don't give Topps any ideas. They might start including "chase used" pieces of the Bronco in their next set.

I was thinking something from Ruth, maybe a Baltimore uniform or something from the industrial school, maybe an early Cobb item.

I will end the speculation. It's my 1987 Topps Barry Larkin rookie card. All 8 figure offers are welcome.

I understand generating buzz, but isn't all this hyperbole just setting everyone up for disappointment? It's hard to get louder once you've turned it up to 11.
