Sports Memorabilia

Christie’s offers historic sports memorabilia in a wide range of live and online auctions. From baseball’s storied roots to important sneakers and game-used items from some of history's most inspiring athletes, we bring storytelling to the forefront through important collection sales and masterpiece individual lots.

Christie’s has offered storied collections which reflect an individual collector’s deep passion for a specific sport or game, including The Origins of Golf: The Jaime Ortiz-Patiño Collection, to the 2020 The Sir Geoffrey Boycott Collection of Cricket, and the 2017/2018 series of sales The Golden Age of Baseball for The National Pastime Museum.

Christie’s has partnered with Hunt Auctions to offer single-owner collections of top baseball memorabilia, including the 2020 sale Home Plate and the 2021 live and online sales Extra Innings, which achieved a world record price for a signed sports photo with a 1911 “Shoeless” Joe Jackson selling for $1,470,000.

In recent seasons, Christie’s has collaborated with Roger Federer on a sale celebrating his historic achievements, which realised over $3,000,000 to benefit the RF Foundation, and sold Lionel Messi’s record-breaking boots for £125,000.
