奧巴馬高中籃球衫拍賣凈值12萬(wàn)美元

President Barack Obama's game-worn high school basketball jersey went up for auction in Dallas over the weekend.

上周末，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)巴拉克•奧巴馬(Barack Obama)的高中籃球比賽服在達(dá)拉斯拍賣。

The winning bid: $120,000, by a buyer who wanted to remain anonymous.

中標(biāo)者是一位不愿透露姓名的買家，出價(jià)12萬(wàn)美元。

Obama wore the jersey during his senior year at Punahou School in Honolulu as a member of the 1979 Hawaii State Champion boys' varsity basketball team.

奧巴馬在檀香山普納侯學(xué)校讀高中的最后一年穿著這件球衣，當(dāng)時(shí)他是1979年夏威夷州男子籃球隊(duì)冠軍。

Obama is a well-known hoops fan, and he was known to host pickup games while in office. He's sat courtside at a number of NBA games, and he was even in attendance when Duke University phenom Zion Williamson's shoe burst during a game against the University of North Carolina in February.

奧巴馬是一位著名的籃球迷，眾所周知，他在任期間經(jīng)常舉辦籃球比賽。他曾多次在NBA比賽中坐在球場(chǎng)邊，甚至在今年2月杜克大學(xué)球星錫安•威廉姆森在對(duì)陣北卡羅來(lái)納大學(xué)的比賽中，錫安•威廉姆森的鞋子爆了，當(dāng)時(shí)他也在場(chǎng)。

The jersey might have been discarded if not for fellow Peter Noble. Noble was three years Obama's junior and wore the same No. 23 as a member of the junior varsity team.

如果不是他的校友彼得·諾布爾，這件球衣可能已經(jīng)被丟棄了。諾布爾比奧巴馬小三歲，穿著與少年校隊(duì)成員相同的23號(hào)球衣。

Noble did not realize that the jersey belonged to Obama until the latter was elected President and he saw in a Sports Illustrated article that he had worn 23.

直到奧巴馬當(dāng)選總統(tǒng)，諾布爾才意識(shí)到這件球衣屬于奧巴馬，他在“體育畫報(bào)”的一篇文章中看到，他穿的是23號(hào)。

Included in the lot is a letter of provenance from Noble and his 1979 Punahou School yearbook. A portion of the proceeds will go to the school.

拍品中包括一封來(lái)自諾布爾的信，以及他1979年出版的普納侯學(xué)校年鑒。部分收入將捐給學(xué)校。

Eric Bradley, a spokesman for Heritage Auctions, said bidding was extremely competitive, with the lot receiving 27 bids, far above the seven or eight bids most lots receive.

遺產(chǎn)拍賣公司的發(fā)言人埃里克·布拉德利表示，此次拍賣競(jìng)爭(zhēng)異常激烈，共收到27份投標(biāo)書，遠(yuǎn)高于大多數(shù)拍品收到的7至8份投標(biāo)書。

The jersey's price bested the winning bid for a dual signed photograph of baseball legends Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth, the only one of its kind known to exist. That lot sold for $111,000, and the auction house had expected it to be the top bid in the auction.

這件球衣的價(jià)格超過了一張由棒球傳奇人物泰·科布(Ty Cobb)和貝比·魯斯(Babe Ruth)的雙人簽名照片的中標(biāo)價(jià)，后者是已知存在的唯一張此類照片。那件拍品以111，000美元的價(jià)格售出，拍賣行原本預(yù)計(jì)它會(huì)是拍賣會(huì)上的最高出價(jià)。
