25 Highest-Selling Pieces Of Sports Memorabilia Of All Time

A blue jersey worn during the game that produced both the "Hand of God" goal and what would be voted as "Goal of the Century" by FIFA has taken the crown as the most expensive piece of sports memorabilia ever to have been sold.

The late Diego Maradona of the Argentina national football team scored both goals in 1986, quickly changing the color of the jersey from blue to solid gold as the jersey fetched a whopping $9.28 million at a Sotheby’s auction in London on Wednesday.
