🗞️A napkin sold for how much?
The world’s most important napkin sold Friday in England, fetching nearly $1 million.
The napkin altered the course of sports history forever in December 2000, when haphazard scribbles paved the way for Lionel Messi to sign with FC Barcelona, where he became arguably the greatest player in the history of soccer.
It had just one bid of $275,000 (without buyer’s premium) until the final 30 minutes when it received a flurry of activity to surge past the high estimate of $630,000 and enter extended bidding, finally hammering at $964,450 (including buyer’s premium).

Next, the Koufax rookie jersey reached $1.8 million, more than double the previous record for a Koufax gamer, which was set in May 2017 by this same jersey for $667,189.20.
