Default The First Ever Baseball Memorabilia Auction?
Posted By: davidcycleback

During WWII, there was an auction of a team signed football with the proceeds to go towards the US war effort. A businessman placed the winning bid of about $1 million, which is still the record for team signed ball. Can't recall the team, but it was a big time NFL or college team.
