Christian Laettner, a former NCAA champion and member of the famous Olympic “Dream Team,” is teaming up with SCP Auctions once again. Laettner is offering over 36 items from his personal collection for the Fall Premier Auction, which will conclude on December 2nd.
Among the items up for auction are Laettner’s NCAA championship rings from 1991 and 1992, showcasing his achievements as part of the Duke Blue Devils. Also included is a recruitment letter from Coach Mike Krzyzewski, dated back to 1987 when Laettner was a rising star in the basketball world. Fans and collectors will be thrilled to see Laettner’s #32 Duke jersey, which was retired during his senior season in 1992 at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Highlighting Laettner’s involvement in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics is a game-worn, autographed uniform and warm-up suit. These items provide a unique opportunity for fans to own a piece of history from the historic Dream Team. In addition, a team-signed basketball and an autographed ticket from the gold medal final – the highest PSA graded example – are available for bidding.
The collection also features significant items from Laettner’s post-college career. Fans can bid on his ring from the 2010 Naismith Hall of Fame induction, celebrating his outstanding contributions to the sport. Laettner’s 2010 National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame Induction Medal is also available for auction, further showcasing his remarkable basketball journey.
Laettner’s NBA career is represented as well, with a 1997 NBA All-Star ring and a game-worn jersey from his rookie year up for grabs. These items add a new dimension to the collection, allowing fans to appreciate Laettner’s transition to professional basketball.
For Laettner, these items hold immense sentimental value. Each one represents a highlight in his basketball career and a significant milestone in his life. The former player hopes that this auction can provide both collectors and fans alike with the chance to own a piece of his storied journey.
This isn’t the first time Laettner’s memorabilia has garnered attention at auction. In 2014, his jersey, famously worn during his turnaround jumper against Kentucky in the 1992 NCAA Tournament, was auctioned off for an impressive $119,500. With the excitement surrounding this latest auction, it’s expected that there will be strong interest from fans and collectors eager to own a part of basketball history.
