🗞️ Keeping up with Caitlin
Caitlin Clark’s historic season has taken the memorabilia world by storm. On the ground in Iowa City, Wayne Drehs tracks down her most valuable pieces.
Mallory Grossman, 12, ended up with the Nikes and today keeps them encased on a shelf in her bedroom. It is believed to be one of the first times Clark gave away her game-worn sneakers before disappearing into the Iowa tunnel. Grossman says she has been offered $10,000 for the shoes but insists she’ll never sell them. For any price.
“Not even a million dollars,” she said. “No way. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I would never ever sell them.”
💰️ Auction round-up
🦸 $6 million comic book
On Friday, Heritage set an all-time record for any comic book with the sale of a CGC 8.5 Action Comics No. 1. Long before it hit $6 million, it sold for a record $1,801.26 to an 18-year-old in 1973. We caught up with him 40+ years later.
🍎 Steve Jobs is on fire
