Christian Laettner, a former NCAA champion and member of the famed Olympic “Dream Team,” is once again collaborating with SCP Auctions to offer over 36 items from his personal collection. This exciting opportunity for collectors and fans alike will be part of SCP Auctions’ Fall Premier Auction, concluding on December 2nd.
The standout pieces in Laettner’s collection include his NCAA championship rings from 1991 and 1992, a 1987 recruitment letter from Coach Mike Krzyzewski, and his iconic #32 Duke jersey, which was retired during his senior season in 1992 at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
One of the highlights of Laettner’s basketball career was his participation in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. To commemorate this, he has included his game-worn, autographed uniform and warm-up suit from that legendary tournament. There is also a team-signed basketball and an autographed ticket from the gold medal final – the highest PSA graded example.
In addition to his NCAA and Olympic memorabilia, the auction will also feature other noteworthy items. These include his ring from the 2010 Naismith Hall of Fame induction and his 2010 National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame Induction Medal. Fans will also have the opportunity to bid on his 1997 NBA All-Star ring and a game-worn jersey from his rookie year in the NBA.
Laettner expressed how much sentimental value these items hold for him, as they represent the highlights of his basketball career. He is excited to offer fans and collectors the chance to own a piece of his storied journey. This auction follows the 2014 sale of Laettner’s jersey, famously worn during his turnaround jumper against Kentucky in the 1992 NCAA Tournament, which fetched an impressive $119,500.
