Chapter 118 Unparalleled World Breaks Alternative Records!(2/3)
The first one shouted out 2 million, not letting anyone else live at all.
But you thought no one would bid? Naive!
"4 million!" It doubled directly.
The person holding the sign was a young man, about twenty-five years old, and he looked like someone from the second generation of wealth in his clothing.
The people who just shouted 1 million and 2 million were dumbfounded. There are people outside the world, and there are many people who want to grab this ball.
But no one is vegetarian, and then the prices start to skyrocket.
"5 million!"
"6 million!"
"8 million!"
"10 million!"
When the call reached 10 million, the scene was completely in an uproar. It was beyond everyone's imagination, except for the guy who made the bid.
"10 million times,"
"Twice 10 million."
"Dealed! Congratulations to this gentleman, he bid for 10 million for the match ball used by Luo Wu for his first five sons!"
…
"Isn't it? Ten million for a ball? Even if it's made of gold, it's not that expensive, right? The world of rich people is really unimaginable."
"With this money, why not fly directly to Luo Wu and get a ball for him to sign in person?"
"It's so scary. It completely refreshed my perspective. This ball is already worth 10 million, but what about the others? Today's auction must be crazy."
Although the people present are considered wealthy, they still cannot accept the current situation.
"Idiot!"
"Isn't this a record breaking record?"
In the crowd, a slightly fat middle-aged man suddenly uttered a curse word.
Recalling from his reserve of expertise, this auction seems to have set a new record.
But he couldn't remember exactly what the original record was. Anyway, that was pretty much it. He quickly took out his phone and searched on Baidu.
The answer was soon found.
It was a report written by a reporter from "Sports Weekly" and the content was very detailed.
"Oh, even Pele's jersey is a bargain!" the greasy middle-aged man sighed after reading the news.
Several strangers nearby also stretched their heads and looked over curiously.
"Pele jersey: 157,750 pounds, how much is that?" The middle-aged man immediately converted, "About 250,000 US dollars, which is 1.5 million yuan? It's crazy, the ball used by Luo Wu is directly 10 million
RMB, old man Pele is going to faint in the toilet from crying. Wow~ If old man finds out, he will probably give up his title of world champion to Luo Wu. He is not worthy of the title!"
"Haha! That's okay." A guy next to him couldn't help laughing.
Pele's jersey is no ordinary jersey. It was the jersey from the 1970 World Cup final. Wearing jersey No. 10, Pele led perhaps the strongest Brazilian team in World Cup history to a 4:1 victory over Italy.
It’s my third World Cup.
In 2002, Christie's auctioned the jersey worn by Pele in that game. The original owner of the jersey was Rosato, Italy's main defender in that game. After the game, Rosato ran 50 meters and exchanged jerseys with Pele first, and got
To commemorate the final game of the World Cup.
Christie's initially estimated the jersey at 30,000 to 50,000 pounds. The final sale price far exceeded Christie's estimate.
However, Brazil has some doubts about the authenticity of this jersey. Zagallo, the national team coach at the time and a former teammate of Pele, said that he collected the jersey that Pele wore in the first half of the game.
, and Adenilo, the Brazilian national team's fitness coach at the time, said that he collected the jersey that Pele wore in the second half of the game.
Christie's denied Brazil's doubts, saying that its team had hired experts to conduct a detailed inspection of the jersey, including the texture and even stains of the jersey, and compared it with the 1970 World Cup final video to confirm the authenticity of the jersey.
Correct.
But is $250,000 too little?
No wonder the middle-aged man kept shaking his head.
But this auctioned jersey has already been included in the top five in history.
Ranked fourth is a football trophy, the oldest existing FA Cup, worth 478,000 pounds ($750,000).
In 2005, the famous British auction house Christie's auctioned the oldest existing FA Cup. Finally, Gold, the owner of the Birmingham team who was still in the Premier League at the time, and also the owner of the famous British adult products store Ann&Summers, paid 478,000 pounds (750,000 US dollars).
This trophy was acquired at a transaction price of .
Since the FA Cup was founded in 1871, there have been a total of 4 trophies in the 150 years. The FA Cup photographed by Gold was the only FA Cup circulating on the market at that time. From 1896 to 1910
It is used as the official FA Cup during the year.
Born in the 1930s, Gold experienced World War II in his childhood. During his growing up years, he witnessed how Britain defeated the invasion of Nazi Germany. Regarding why he bought the FA Cup at a high price, Gold explained: "The Germans may
We have won more World Cups than we have, but I can’t bear the fact that the FA Cup, which represents our English football tradition, is also flowing abroad. Since neither the government nor the FA seem to have the intention to protect this precious trophy, then I think taking a photo of this
The trophy is my responsibility."
The British still know how to play.
The third ranked one was naturally played by the British.
Sheffield Football Club's contract, the price is 881,000 pounds ($1.46 million).
Sheffield FC, founded in 1857, is the oldest football club in the world - although the team has moved away from Sheffield and is currently closer to Derby, and its league level is only the 8th tier in England.
The club's historical archives contain one of the earliest rules of the game in modern football history, the Sheffield Statute.
In 2011, in order to raise club funds, Sheffield FC entrusted Sotheby's auction house to auction the statute, and it was finally sold to a private collector for 881,000 pounds. At the time, Sheffield FC chairman Timms revealed: "This time
The auction attracted many international sellers and reflected the trajectory of our game from England to the world over a century and a half."
This statute contains the prototype of many current football rules created by Sheffield FC in 1857, including corner kicks, crossbars, indirect free kicks, throw-ins, goal kicks, prohibitions on handball, prohibition of rough fouls, etc.
However, this rule is much looser than the current football rules. It clearly stipulates: "Although hugging and tripping should be prohibited under any circumstances, pushing people is allowed during the game."
The second-ranked ball is played by the tycoons in the Middle East. It was the signature ball used in the 2006 World Cup final.
In the 2006 World Cup final, 20 balls were officially used. One of the balls was auctioned by Sotheby's in November of that year, and was finally purchased by the Qatari royal family for US$2.4 million. This ball has the entire Italian team.
The signed final ball is placed in the showroom of Asbaer Football Academy as a gift for the Asian Games in Doha, Qatar, in December.
As for number one?
It became a jersey again.
That was Hurst's 1966 England World Cup final jersey for 2.3 million pounds (about 3.6 million U.S. dollars, 23 million yuan).
In the 1966 World Cup final, Hurst wore a red long-sleeved England uniform and scored three goals in a row to defeat West Germany at Wembley. This was the most glorious chapter in the history of English football. This classic red long-sleeved uniform followed its owner.
Being awarded a knighthood has become a symbol of honor in English football.
Hurst is also the only player in history to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final.
In 2000, Christie's agent auctioned this jersey and sold it for 91,750 pounds. In 2008, this jersey was auctioned again and was bought by overseas investors for a price of 1 million U.S. dollars. During the 2010 World Cup, this jersey
The jersey was on display at Harrods department store in London. Due to the poor performance of the England team led by Capello in this World Cup, the public was increasingly nostalgic for the golden age of English football, and the value of this jersey increased - and finally
The jersey was auctioned again for £2.3 million...
This is the most expensive jersey in the world.
Luo Wu's football can be ranked second in terms of price. If it is a football? It will be ranked first.
"Awesome, so awesome."
"I wonder what will happen next? The fight between gods has nothing to do with us mortals." The middle-aged man put away his mobile phone and looked at the stands again.
The host continued to introduce: "The next auction is the jersey of Luo Wu's first appearance on behalf of Arsenal, as well as the autographs of Luo Wu and all his teammates! The starting price is also 1 million yuan, and the price will be increased by at least 100,000 yuan each time.
"
After the madness the first time, it didn’t feel so scary the second time.
Sure enough, the first person to bid immediately jumped up: "5 million!"
After hearing this number, the crowd below was actually not making any noise?
"10 million!"
Because we all know that there are still people making offers.
Didn’t someone apply for 10 million?
All the money comes from the flood...
"15 million!"
Before the host could open his mouth, someone else raised a sign.
"20 million!"
To be continued...
