“Miracle on Ice” Memorabilia Sells for $1.3 Million
More than two dozen bidders helped push the selling price for some patriotic hockey memorabilia to over $1 million.
FOX News Radio’s Sal Giangrasso has details from New York City:
It happened more than three decades ago:
(Play by Play) “Five seconds left in the game. Do you believe in miracles? Yes! Unbelievable!”
The U.S. “Miracle on Ice” victory over the Soviet Union at the 1980 Winter Olympics still has a big time payoff, with game memorabilia pulling in a cool $1.3 million.
The jersey worn by Mike Eruzione was auctioned for almost $660,000 and spirited bidding drove the value of the hockey stick he used to score the winning goal to nearly $263,000. Gloves, warm up suits and pants made up the rest.
