Lin’s autographed jersey auctioned for charity
If you have some extra cash to throw around—and who doesn’t, given today’s economic situation (insert laugh track here)—you can bid for the hottest piece of memorabilia in sports.
But you have to move quickly, since this auction ends Tuesday at noon.
The auction site CharityBuzz.com is selling the jersey worn by Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin on FEb. 10, the night he scored a career-high 38 points against the Lakers. Wait, there’s more. The jersey has been signed by Lin, too. Throw in four tickets to the Knicks’ game Wednesday against Atlanta at Madison Square Garden (Section 106, Row 11), and a meet-and-greet session with Lin after the game, and that’s quite a package.
The net proceeds for this item benefit The Garden of Dreams Foundation. As of Monday at 5 p.m., bidding was up to $31,388.
The Garden of Dreams Foundation, by the way, is a non-profit charity founded in 2006 that works closely with all areas of The Madison Square Garden Company, including the Knicks, Rangers, Liberty, MSG Media, MSG Entertainment and Fuse “to make dreams come true for kids facing obstacles.”
The Lin jersey has received 30 bids. To compare, another item on CharityBuzz.com that ends Tuesday at 9 a.m. — two hospitality passes to watch the 2012 Masters practice rounds on April 2-3 — has had 18 bids and currently stands at $1,050.
The prices are crazy, but the money benefits a good cause. So that’s a good thing. Not sure how much higher the price will go, but there could be a flurry just before noon.
