The three auctions featured over 1,600 lots, including <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/dyn1.heritagestatic.com\/ha?p=3-4-4-9-1-34491826&amp;w=850&amp;h=600&amp;it=product\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">a Honus Wagner baseball card<\/span><span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/dyn1.heritagestatic.com\/ha?p=3-4-8-5-9-34859277&amp;w=850&amp;h=600&amp;it=product\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">a jersey worn by Wilt Chamberlain at the 1961 All-Star Game<\/span><span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, and <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/dyn1.heritagestatic.com\/ha?p=3-4-8-3-9-34839013&amp;w=850&amp;h=600&amp;it=product\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">a silver medal from the first modern Olympic Games in 1896<\/span><span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. While any one of these would have stolen the show at a normal sports memorabilia sale, what grabbed many collectors\u2019 attention was just one lot: the soccer ball used during the World Cup match during which Diego Maradona scored the \u201cHand of God\u201d goal and the Goal of the Century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In 1986, Argentina and England were set to play each other in the quarterfinals of that year\u2019s World Cup, hosted by Mexico. The two national teams had faced each other before at two previous World Cups. England had won both times, first at the 1962 World Cup in Chile and again as the host in 1966. The two countries had also been at war with one another only four years before, when the British repelled the Argentine military government\u2019s invasion of the Falkland Islands. Despite the defeat leading to the military relinquishing power and greater political liberalization, it remained a source of national shame. Many Argentine commentators saw the quarterfinal match in Mexico as a chance for revenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, one of Argentina\u2019s star players, Diego Maradona, led the team to victory by scoring two of the greatest goals in the history of soccer. The first and more controversial goal is popularly called the \u201cHand of God\u201d goal. To knock the ball into the goal, Maradona leaped into the air just before it could reach English goalkeeper Peter Shilton. In doing so, Maradona hit the ball into the goal with his left hand. However, neither the referee nor the assistant referee saw the handball, and they counted the goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Only four minutes later, Maradona made the second goal, managing to dribble sixty meters past five English defenders in around twelve seconds. While the \u201cHand of God\u201d goal is often bemoaned as one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in the history of organized soccer, few people dispute that Maradona\u2019s second goal is one of the greatest displays of a player\u2019s pure intelligence and athleticism in the sport\u2019s history. According to Heritage, the two goals get to the essence of \u201cthe whole Maradona paradox\u201d. While the Hand of God is \u201cfootball\u2019s most famous act of illegality ever ratified by a referee\u201d, the Goal of the Century \u201cis perhaps the clearest expression of individual genius ever seen on the tournament\u2019s biggest stage.\u201d Argentina ended up winning the match 2-1, and later won the entire tournament after defeating West Germany in the final.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In accordance with FIFA protocols, the ball was given to the match\u2019s referee, Ali Ben Nasser. The ball comes with a 2023 letter of provenance from Ben Nasser stating that it was used for the entire game. It also states that Ben Nasser, the assistant referee Bogdan Dochev, and the two other match officials, Berny Ulloa and Idrissa Traor\u00e9, all signed the ball \u201das witnesses to its significance. Independent authenticators have also confirmed that the item at Heritage is the game-used ball, noting scuffing, field marks, signatures, and other markings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Heritage expected the ball to bring in as much as $10 million. These predictions likely reflected the auction success of Maradona&#8217;s jersey from the same match, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/05\/04\/1096725190\/maradona-hand-of-god-world-cup-shirt-auction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">which sold for $9.3 million in 2022<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>. While there was some serious interest at first, very few bids came in as the lot began to close. The hammer eventually came down at $2.75 million (or $3.35 million w\/p). This still makes the ball one of the most expensive pieces of sports memorabilia ever sold at auction.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday, August 22nd, Heritage Auctions in Dallas recently hosted a three-day series of sales focusing mainly on sports memorabilia.
